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
