B     C#m    Ebm       E
  You are my sweetest downfall
    F#        Abm      F#        E
  I loved you first, I loved you first
  E            B        C#m    Ebm     E
  Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
    F#     Abm    F#      E
  I have to go, I have to go
  E             Esus4              E5  
  Your hair was long when we first met

  F# Abm      B   
  Samson went back to bed
                       E
  Not much hair left on his head
     F#     Abm     B                                   F#
  He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed
          F#      Abm      B                                   E 
  And the history books forgot about us and the bible didn't mention us
          B     F#     Abm                  E       
  And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

B     C#m    Ebm       E
  You are my sweetest downfall
    F#        Abm      F#        E
  I loved you first, I loved you first
 E            B          C#m    Ebm     E
  Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads
              F#     Abm               F#      E
  But they're just old light, they're just old light
  E             Esus4              E5
  Your hair was long when we first met

  F# Abm      B 
  Samson came to my bed
                  E
  Told me that my hair was red
  F#    Abm     B                         F#
  Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed
       F#     Abm     B 
  Oh I cut his hair myself one night
                                 E
  A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
                               B
  And he told me that I'd done alright
      B         F#       Abm                 E
  And kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light
         B         F#       Abm          E
  And he kissed me 'til the mornin' light

  F# Abm      B
  Samson went back to bed
                     E
  Not much hair left on his head
  F#     Abm     B                                   F#
  Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed
         F#       Abm       B                                  
  Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
                             E
  Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one
  E                       B
  And the history books forgot about us
          B     F#     Abm                  E
  And the bible didn't mention us, not even once

B     C#m    Ebm       E
  You are my sweetest downfall
    F#        Abm
  I loved you first
