Maisie Peters – History Of Man (Guitar)

                E
Tale as old as honey

               C#m
A moment everybody knows

                          B
Yeah, I'm sure there was heartbreak

                     B
Inside the walls of Jericho

              E
I couldn't believe it

                         C#m
How you could just stop wanting me

                      B
You burnt down Easter Island

                 F#m                     E/G#
As if it wasn't sacred, as if it wasn't sacred to me

A
 I've seen it in the poems, in the sands

B
 I've pleaded with the powers and their plans

E                              B
 I tried to re-write it but I can't

                       E/G#
It's the history, the history of man

A
 She stays up, he's sleeping like a lamb

B
 She begs him, hе says he doesn't understand

E
 Shе loves him more than anyone ever has

B                                F#m
 In the history, the history of man

                     E
It's the history of man (Yeah)

                 E
You didn't even falter

                 C#m
Didn't look back once, did you?

                    B
So Samson blamed Delilah

                     B
But given half the chance I, I would have made him weaker too

 F#m               A
Sirens sound and trumpets blaring

 F#m
You walked out, oh

 B
Without sweating

A
 I've seen it in the poems, in the sands

B
 I've pleaded with the powers and their plans

E                              B
 I tried to re-write it but I can't

                       E/G#
It's the history, the history of man (History)

A
 She stays up, he's sleeping like a lamb

B
 She begs him, hе says he doesn't understand

E
 Shе loves him more than anyone ever has

B
 In the history, the history of man (History)

     F#m
He stole her youth and promised heaven

     A
The men start wars yet Troy hates Helen

 F#m
Women's hearts are lethal weapons

 A
Did you hold mine and feel threatened?

 F#m
Hear my lyrics, taste my venom

 B
You are still my great obsession

A
 I've seen it in the poems, in the sands

B
 I've pleaded with the powers and their plans

E                              B
 I tried to re-write it but I can't

                       E/G#
It's the history, the history of man (History)

A
 I stay up, you're sleeping like a lamb

B
 I beg you and you don't understand

E
 I hold on, I try to hold your hand

B
 I save you a seat and then you say you wanna stand

C#m
 So you'll lose me, the best you'll ever have

B
 It's the history, the history of man
