Verse 1:
F                                Bb
Who’s gonna tell us the stories, that our textbooks don’t?
F                               Bb
Tales of love that stay blurry, cause our courses won’t
Dm                    C
Ignore the way they’re designed to erase the past

Too many handwritten letters

Signed to: my dearest, with love

All pulled from their papers, ripped out as cover up
Dm                                 C
To disguise endearment, as friendly notes
Bb                          C
It doesn’t take a scholar, to know how this one goеs
C
And historians will call them

40 years living together

Wearing the same wedding bands

Two kids and a golden retriever

Just friends don’t live like that

They don’t look at each other

With love in their eyes

How many decades of hiding?

21 centuries of hate
F
Some things may not’ve been okay back then
Bb                         Dm
But it’s sure all right today
                              C
Too afraid to call it what it is
       Bb                                 C
It doesn’t take a scholar, to understand this

Verse 3:
Bb
Keep it hidden
        C
Rewrite history

Leave it wrapped up in a mystery
                             C
Because no one can figure it out

(I think they figured it out)
Dm       C               Bb
Stash the proof, hide the evidence
        C                         Dm
Keep it locked until it’s relevant
        C                    Bb
Because they can’t figure it out

(I think they figured it out)
        C                    Bb
Because no one can figure it out
                        C
I think they figured it out

And historians will call them
