B C#m B E
You are my sweetest down-fall
F# G#m F# E
I loved you first, I loved you first
B C#m B E
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
F# G#m F# E
I have to go, I have to go
F# E
Your hair was long, when we first met
( F# )
F# G#m B
Sam - son went back to bed
E
Not much hair left on his head
F# G#m B G#m F#
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
E G#m B B E
And history books for-got about us and the bible didn't mention us
B F# G#m E
And the bi-ble didn't mention us, not even once
G#m F#
