[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
