B C#m B/D# Esus2
You are my sweetest down-fall
E F#sus2 G#m f# E
I loved you first, I loved you first
B C#m B/D# E
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
f# G#m f# E
I have to go, I have to go
Esus2/B E/B
Your hair was long, when we first met
Esus2
f# G#m B
Sam - son went back to bed
B E
Not much hair left on his head
f# G#m B B f#
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
f# G#m B B E
And history books for-got about us and the bible didn't mention us
B A/F# G#m E
And the bi-ble didn't mention us, not even once
