G Am G/B Cadd9 You are my sweetest downfall C D Em D C I loved you first, I loved you first C G Am G/B Cadd9 Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth D Em D C I have to go, I have to go Csus2* C Csus2 Your hair was long, when we first met
[Chorus]
D Em G Samson went back to bed G C Not much hair left on his head D Em G G D He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed D Em G G C And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us G D/F# Em Cadd9 C And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

G Am G/B Cadd9 You are my sweetest downfall C D Em D Cadd9 I loved you first, I loved you first C G Am G/B Cadd9 C Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads D Em D C But they're just old light, they're just old light Csus2* C Csus2 Your hair was long when we first met
[Chorus]
D Em G Samson came to my bed G C Told me that my hair was red D Em G G D Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed D Em G Oh I cut his hair myself one night G C A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light C G And he told me that I'd done alright G D/F# Em C and kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light G D/F# Em C Cadd9 and he kissed me 'til the mornin' light
