Two gods alike, the goddess of love
         C majorC       G+G
Kingdoms away, so far from each other

The world's ever-first long-distance lovers

Kept apart by the brawls of silly men

They got down on their knees and prayed, "Aphrodite,

G+G
"Promise my desires, promise me the West,
G+G
"No matter the cost, even if it's death,

Verse 3:
              C majorC       G+G
Against their own wills, at war with each other
           G+G        G+G
God fighting God, and brother fighting brother
             C majorC      G+G
Long story short, it's a tale age as old
C majorC       G+G    G+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
