[Verse]
B C#m B/D# Eadd9
You are my sweetest downfall
E F# G#m F# E
I loved you first, I loved you first
E B C#m B/D# Eadd9
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
F# G#m F# E
I have to go, I have to go
Esus2* E Esus2
Your hair was long, when we first met
[Chorus]
F# G#m B
Samson went back to bed
B E
Not much hair left on his head
F# G#m B B F#
He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
F# G#m B B E
And history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
B F#/A# G#m Eadd9 E
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once
[Verse]
B C#m B/D# Eadd9
You are my sweetest downfall
E F# G#m F# Eadd9
I loved you first, I loved you first
E B C#m B/D# Eadd9 E
Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
F# G#m F# E
But they're just old light, they're just old light
Esus2* E Esus2
Your hair was long when we first met
[Chorus]
F# G#m B
Samson came to my bed
B E
Told me that my hair was red
F# G#m B B F#
Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
F# G#m B
Oh I cut his hair myself one night
B E
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
E B
And he told me that I'd done alright
B F#/A# G#m E
and kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light
B F#/A# G#m E Eadd9
and he kissed me 'til the mornin' light
[Instrumental]
B F#/A# G#m
[Chorus]
F# G#m B
Samson went back to bed
B E
not much hair left on his head
F# G#m B B F#
Ate a slice of wonderbread 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
B F#/A# G#m E Eadd9
And the bible didn't mention us, not even once
[Outro]
B C#m B/D# Eadd9
You are my sweetest downfall
E F#sus2 F# G#m
I loved you first
