Samson chords by Regina Spektor

Chords with lyrics

E MajorE
 You are my sweetest downfall
  E MajorE
 I loved you first, I loved you first
 E MajorE
 Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
  E MajorE
 I have to go, I have to go
 E5E5
 Your hair was long when we first met

 BB
 Samson went back to bed
            E MajorE
 Not much hair left on his head
   F#F#
 He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
     E MajorE
 And the history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
     E MajorE
 And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

E MajorE
 You are my sweetest downfall
  E MajorE
 I loved you first, I loved you first
 E MajorE
 Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
       E MajorE
 But they're just old light, they're just old light
 E5E5
 Your hair was long when we first met

 BB
 Samson came to my bed
         E MajorE
 Told me that my hair was red
 F#F#
 Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
    BB
 Oh I cut his hair myself one night
                 E MajorE
 A augmentedA pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
                BB
 And he told me that I'd done alright
   E MajorE
 And kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light
     E MajorE
 And he kissed me 'til the mornin' light

 BB
 Samson went back to bed
           E MajorE
 Not much hair left on his head
 F#F#
 Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
     BB
 Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
               E MajorE
 Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
 BB
 And the history books forgot about us
     E MajorE
 And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

E MajorE
 You are my sweetest downfall
  G# minorG#m
