Verse 1:
                              C     G
Tell me did you ever hear the story of
                    G          G
Two gods alike, the goddess of love
                  C             G
Kingdoms away, so far from each other
                       G             G
The world's ever-first long-distance lovers

G*
                           C    G
It's the tale of Venus and Aphrodite
                                     G         G
I'm known to lose my thoughts but my memory is tidy
                               C            G
It's a story that I love and a story I know well
                      G               G
Listen to me close so you can hear me tell

G*
                              C         G
No farther than a neighbour, 'cross the sea
                G  G
Met a party for deities
                   C         G
They fell in love upon first glance
      G                     C*
Kept apart by the brawls of silly men

Verse 2:
                      C       G
Oh, rumours told, oh, rumours said
                           G      G
Of the first embrace these lovers shared
                            C             G
Their beauties combined and shone a great light
           G                       C*
Brought an end to the dark, in the dead of night

Bridge:
G
Worshipped by Greeks for love, war and beauty
     C*
They got down on their knees and prayed, "Aphrodite,
G
"Promise me true love, and promise me I win,
G
"Against all my enemies who try to make me sin,
G
"Promise me I'm pretty and promise me the sea,
G*                     C*             G
"Promise me the Romans finally set us free,
     G*                    C*             G
"Oh, promise me the Romans finally set us free!"

G
Similar to her, Rome had Venus
      C*
Their prayers just as shallow and their words just as meanless
G
"Promise my desires, promise me the West,
G
"No matter the cost, even if it's death,
G
"Promise me a target, and promise me a dime,
 G*                    C*          G
"Promise me the Greeks finally abi-de!"

Verse 3:
                            C             G
Against their own wills, at war with each other
                      G                G
God fighting God, and brother fighting brother
                         C           G
Long story short, it's a tale age as old
C              G       G             G
Love ruined by men who fight and who fold
G*                C*          G*
Even the gods are hurt by our actions
G*                          C*                G*
It's a little more than the law of attraction
