You are my sweetest down-fall

  I loved you first, I loved you first

  Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth

  I have to go, I have to go

  Your hair was long, when we first met

( F# )

  Sam - son went back to bed

  Not much hair left on his head

  He ate a slice of wonder bread and went right back to bed

  And history books for-got about us and the bible didn't mention us

  And the bi-ble didn't mention us, not even once

You are my sweetest downfall

  I loved you first, I loved you first

  Beneath the stars came fallin' on our heads

  But they're just old light, they're just old light

  Your hair was long when we first met

( F# )

  Sam - son came to my bed

  Told me that my hair was red

  Told me I was beautiful and came into my bed

  Oh I cut his hair my - self one night

  A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light

  And he told me that I'd done alright

  and kissed me 'til the mornin' light, the mornin' light

  and he kissed me 'til the mornin' light

G#m F# B F# E---(Fading away)

  Sam - son went back to bed

  not much hair left on his head

  Ate a slice of wonderbread and went right back to bed

  Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down

  Yeah we couldn't destroy a single one

  And history books forgot about us

  And the bible didn't mention us, not even once....

You are my sweetest downfall

  I loved you first
