You are my sweetest downfall
F# G#m F# E
I loved you first, I loved you first
E B C#m D#m E
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
F# G#m F# E
I have to go, I have to go
E Esus4 E5
Your hair was long when we first met
F# G#m B
Samson went back to bed
E
Not much hair left on his head
F# G#m B F#
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
F# G#m B E
And the history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
B F# G#m E
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once
