        E
Tale as old as honey

A moment everybody knows

Yeah, I'm sure there was heartbreak
           B
Inside the walls of Jericho
       E
I couldn't believe it
             C#m
How you could just stop wanting me
           B
You burnt down Easter Island

 I've seen it in the poems, in the sands

 I've pleaded with the powers and their plans

 She stays up, he's sleeping like a lamb

 She begs him, hе says he doesn't understand

 Shе loves him more than anyone ever has

It's the history of man (Yeah)

         E
You didn't even falter
         C#m
Didn't look back once, did you?

So Samson blamed Delilah
           B
But given half the chance I, I would have made him weaker too


♫ Pre-Chorus:
 F#m        A
Sirens sound and trumpets blaring
 F#m
You walked out, oh
 B
Without sweating

♫ Bridge:
   F#m
He stole our youth and promised heaven
   A
The men start wars yet Troy hates Helen
 F#m
Women's hearts are lethal weapons
 A
Did you hold mine and feel threatened?
 F#m
Hear my lyrics, taste my venom
 B
You are still my great obsession

 I stay up, you're sleeping like a lamb

 I beg you and you don't understand
E
 I hold on, I try to hold your hand
B
 I save you a seat and then you say you wanna stand
C#m
 So you'll lose me, the best you'll ever have
B
 It's the history, the history of man
