[Verse]
 B  C#m     B/D#     Esus2 E
You are  my sweetest downfall
E F#sus2 F#   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               E5 Esus2
Your hair was long,  when we first met

[Chorus]
 F# G#m       B
Sam-son went back to bed
  B                 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 history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
        Badd9 F#/A#   G#m7                E6/9
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

G#m/E F#/E B/E

[Verse]
 B  C#m     B/D#     Esus2 E
You are  my sweetest downfall
E F#sus2 F#   G#m       F#        E
I loved  you first, I loved you first
              B         C#m     B/D#    E
Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
      E      F#      G#m             F#        E
But they're just old light, they're just old light
              Esus2               E5 Esus2
Your hair was long,  when we first met

[Chorus]
 F# G#m       B
Sam-son went back to bed
  B              E
Told me that my hair was red
 F#    G#m      B                        F#
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
      F#     G#m       B                                               E
Oh I cut his hair my self one night, a pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
        E                B5
And he told me that I'd done alright
        Badd9    F#/A#     G#m7                 E
And he kissed me 'til the morning light, the morning light
        Badd9    F#/A#     G#m7      E6/9
And he kissed me 'til the morning li-ight

G#m/E F#/E B/E

[Instrumental break]

[Chorus]
 F# G#m       B
Sam-son went back to bed
  B                 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
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
           B                   E
Yeah, we couldn't destroy a single one
       E            B
And history books forgot about us
        Badd9 F#/A#   G#m7                E6/9
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

G#m/E F#/E B/E

[Outro]
 B  C#m     B/D#     Esus2 E
You are  my sweetest downfall
E F#sus2 F#  G#m7
I loved  you first
