History Of Man Chords by Maisie Peters

[Start]

[Verse]
F                     
■ Tale as old as honey
                   Dm   
A moment everybody knows
                        C         
Yeah I'm sure there was heartbreak
C                          
Inside the walls of Jericho
  F                  
I couldn't believe it
        Dm7                       
How you could just stop wanting me
          C                 
You burnt down Easter Island
                Gm           F                Bb   
As if it wasn't sacred as if it wasn't sacred to me


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


[Verse]
                F     
You didn't even falter
            Dm                Dm7
Didn't look back once did you ■  
                 C      
So Samson blamed Delilah
                   C       
But given half the chance I
                    C         
I would've made him weaker too


[Chorus]
Gm7            Bb              
Sirens sounded trumpets blaring
Gm7               C7               Bb
You walked out oh without sweating ■ 
                                  C    
I've seen it in the poems and the sands
                                       F    
I've pleaded with the powers and their plans
                            C    
I tried to rewrite it but I can't
                                Bb 
It's the history the history of man
                                  C   
She stays up he's sleeping like a lamb
                                F         
She begs him he says he doesn't understand
                                    C  
She loves him more than anyone ever has
       C                         
In the history the history of man
   Gm7                          Gm    
He stole her youth and promised heaven
Bb                                     
The men start wars yet Troy hates Helen
Gm                               
Women's hearts are lethal weapons
Bb                                   
Did you hold mine and feel threatened
        Gm7                  
Hear my lyrics taste my venom
C                      Bb       
You are still my great obsession
                                  C    
I've seen it in the poems and the sands
                                       F    
I've pleaded with the powers and their plans
                            C    
I tried to rewrite it but I can't
                                Bb 
It's the history the history of man
                                 C   
I stay up you're sleeping like a lamb
                        F         
I beg you and you don't understand
                             F   
I hold on I try to hold your hand
C                                                   
I save you a seat and then you say you want to stand
D                                          
So you'll lose me the best you'll ever have
C                                  
It's the history the history of man
