Intro: F

Verse 1:
                F
Tale as old as honey
               Dm
a moment everybody knows
                          C
Yeah, I'm sure there was heartbreak
                     C
Inside the walls of Jericho
              F
I couldn't believe it
                         Dm
How you could just stop wanting me
                      C
You burnt down Easter Island
                 Gm                     F 
As if it wasn't sacred, as if it wasn't sacred to me

Chorus:
Bb
 I've seen it in the poems, in the sands
C
 I've pleaded with the powers and their plans
F                              C
 I tried to re-write it but I can't
                       F 
It's the history, the history of man
Bb
 She stays up, he's sleeping like a lamb
C
 She begs him, hе says he doesn't understand
F
 Shе loves him more than anyone ever has
C                                Gm
 In the history, the history of man
                     F
It's the history of man (Yeah)

Verse 2:
                 F
You didn't even falter
                 Dm
Didn't look back once, did you?
                    C
So Samson blamed Delilah
                     C
But given half the chance I, I would have made him weaker too

Pre-chorus:
 Gm               Bb
Sirens sound and trumpets blaring
 Gm
You walked out, oh
 C
Without sweating

Chorus:
Bb
 I've seen it in the poems, in the sands
C
 I've pleaded with the powers and their plans
F                              C
 I tried to re-write it but I can't
                       F 
It's the history, the history of man (History)
Bb
 She stays up, he's sleeping like a lamb
C
 She begs him, hе says he doesn't understand
F
 Shе loves him more than anyone ever has
C
 In the history, the history of man (History)

Bridge:
     Gm
He stole her youth and promised heaven
     Bb
The men start wars yet Troy hates Helen
 Gm
Women's hearts are lethal weapons
 Bb
Did you hold mine and feel threatened?
 Gm
Hear my lyrics, taste my venom
 C
You are still my great obsession

Chorus:
Bb
 I've seen it in the poems, in the sands
C
 I've pleaded with the powers and their plans
F                              C
 I tried to re-write it but I can't
                       F 
It's the history, the history of man (History)
Bb
 I stay up, you're sleeping like a lamb
C
 I beg you and you don't understand
F
 I hold on, I try to hold your hand
C
 I save you a seat and then you say you wanna stand
Dm
 So you'll lose me, the best you'll ever have
C
 It's the history, the history of man
