                F
Tale as old as honey
               Dm
A moment everybody knows
                          C
Yeah, I'm sure there was heartbreak
Inside the walls of Jericho
              F
I couldn't believe it
                         Dm
How you could just stop wanting me
                      C
You burnt down Easter Island
                 Gm                      F 
As if it wasn't sacred, as if it wasn't sacred to me

Chorus:
A#
I've seen it in the poems, in the sands
C
I've pleaded with the powers and their plans
F                             C
I tried to re-write it but I can't
                        F 
It's the history, the history of man
A#
She stays up, he's sleeping like a lamb
C
She begs him, he says he doesn't understand
F
She loves him more than anyone ever has
C                                Gm
In the history, the history of man
                     F
It's the history of man (Yeah)

You didn't even falter
Didn't look back once, did you?
So Samson blamed Delilah
But given half the chance I,
I would've made him weaker too

Sirens sounded, trumpets blaring
You walked out, oh
Without sweating

Chorus:
I've seen it in the poems, in the sands
I've pleaded with the powers and their plans
I tried to rewrite it but I can't
It's the history, the history of man
She stays up, he's sleeping like a lamb
She begs him, he says he doesn't understand
She loves him more than anyone ever has
In the history (History), the history of man

     Gm
He stole our youth and promised heaven
     A#
The men start wars yet Troy hates Helen
 Gm
Women's hearts are lethal weapons
 A#
Did you hold mine and feel threatened?
 Gm
Hear my lyrics, taste my venom
 C
You are still my great obsession

Chorus:
I've seen it in the poems, in the sands
I've pleaded with the powers and their plans
I tried to rewrite it but I can't
It's the history (History), the history of man
I stay up, you're sleeping like a lamb
I beg you and you don't understand
I hold on, I try to hold your hand
I save you a seat and then you say you wanna stand
So you'll lose me, the best you'll ever have
It's the history, the history of man
