Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]You are[Am] my
[G]sweetest [C]downfall
I loved you [Em]first, I [D]loved you [C]first
Beneath the [G]sheets of [Am]paper
[G]lies my [C]truth
I [D]have to [Em]go, I [D]have to [C]go
Your hair was [C]long when we first [C]met
[C]
[D]Sam[Em]son went [G]back to bed
Not much hair left [C]on his head
He [D]ate a [Em]slice of [G]Wonder Bread
And went right back to [D]bed
And the history [Em]books [G]forgot about us
And the Bible didn't [C]mention us
And the [G]Bible [D]didn't [Em]mention us,
not even [C]once[C]

[Verse 2]
[G]You are[Am] my
[G]sweetest [C]downfall
I [D]loved you [Em]first, I [D]loved you [C]first
Beneath the [G]stars came [Am]fallin'
[G]on our [C]heads
But they're [D]just old [Em]light, they're [D]just old [C]light
Your hair was [C]long when we first [C]met
[C]
[D]Sam[Em]son c[G]ame to my bed
Told me that my hair [C]was red
[D]Told me [Em]I was be[G]autiful
And came into my [D]bed
Oh, I cut his [Em]hair [G]myself one night
A pair of dull scissors in the [C]yellow light
And he told me that I'd done [G]alright
And kissed me [D]'til the [Em]mornin' light,
the [C]mornin' light
And he [G]kissed me [D]'til the [Em]mornin' light
[C][C]
[G][Em]

[Verse 3]
[D]Sam[Em]son went [G]back to bed
Not much hair left on [C]his head
He [D]ate a [Em]slice of [G]Wonder Bread
And went right back to [D]bed
Oh, we couldn't [Em]bring the [G]columns down
Yeah, we couldn't destroy a [C]single one
And the history books [G]forgot about us
And the Bible [D]didn't [Em]mention us,
not even [C]once[C]
[G]You are my
[G]sweetest [C]downfall
I [D]loved you [Em]first
