Maisie Peters – History Of Man Chords on Piano & Ukulele

[Intro]
 E

[Verse 1]
                E
Tale as old as honey
               C#m
A moment everybody knows
Yeah, I'm sure there
      B
was heartbreak
                     B
Inside the walls of Jericho
              E
I couldn't believe it
How you could just
       C#m
stop wanting me
                      B
You burnt down Easter Island
                 F#m
As if it wasn't sacred,
                  E/G#
 as if it wasn't sacred to me

[Chorus]
A
 I've seen it in the poems,
 in the sands
B
 I've pleaded with the powers
and their plans
E
 I tried to re-write
           B
 it but I can't
It's the history,
      E/G#
 the history of man

A
 She stays up,
he's sleeping like a lamb
B
 She begs him, hе says
 he doesn't understand
E
 Shе loves him more
than anyone ever has
B
 In the history,
                 F#m
the history of man
                     E
It's the history of man (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
                 E
You didn't even falter
                 C#m
Didn't look back once, did you?
                    B
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

[Chorus]
A
 I've seen it in the poems,
in the sands
B
 I've pleaded with
the powers and their plans
E
 I tried to re-write
           B
 it but I can't
                       E/G#
It's the history, the history
 of man (History)
A
 She stays up,
he's sleeping like a lamb
B
 She begs him,
hе says he doesn't understand
E
 Shе loves him more
 than anyone ever has
B
 In the history,
the history of man (History)

[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

[Chorus]
A
 I've seen it in the poems,
 in the sands
B
 I've pleaded with the
 powers and their plans
E
 I tried to re-write
           B
 it but I can't
It's the history,
      E/G#
the history of man (History)
A
 I stay up,
 you're sleeping like a lamb
B
 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
