History Of Man - Maisie Peters | Guitar Chords | VChords

[Verse 1]
---------------------
F
 Tale as old as honey
              Dm7
A moment everybody knows
                         C
Yeah, I'm sure there was heartbreak
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
As if it wasn't sacred, as if it wasn't sacred to me

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
Bb                                  C
  I've seen it in the poems, in the sands
                                       F
I've pleaded with the powers and their plans
                            C
I tried to rewrite it but I can't
                      Am         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
                F
You didn't even falter

[Verse 2]
---------------------
                 Dm7
Didn't look back once, did you?
                   C
So Samson blamed Delilah
But given half the chance I, I would've made him weaker too

[Pre-Chorus]
---------------------
Gm              Bb
Sirens sounded, trumpets blaring
Gm
You walked out, oh
C7
Without sweating

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
Bb                                  C
  I've seen it in the poems, in the sands
                                       F
I've pleaded with the powers and their plans
                            C
I tried to rewrite it but I can't
                      Am         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
In the history, the history

[Bridge]
---------------------
   Gm
He stole her youth and promised heaven
    Bb
The men start wars yet Troy hates Hellen
Gm
Women's hearts are lethal weapons
Bb
Did you hold mine and feel threatened?
Gm
Hear my lyrics, taste my venom
C
You are still my great obsession

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
Bb                                  C
  I've seen it in the poems, in the sands
                                       F
I've pleaded with the powers and their plans
                            C
I tried to rewrite it but I can't
                      Am         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
                              C
I hold on, I try to hold your hand
                                             Dm7
I save you a seat and then you say you wanna stand

[Outro]
---------------------
                                        C
So you'll lose me, the best you'll ever have
It's the history, the history of man
