These are chords by Maisie Peters on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

[Intro]
 E  

[Verse 1]
                E
Tale as old as honey
               C#m
A moment everybody knows
Yeah, I\'m sure there 
      B
was heartbreak
                     B
Inside the walls of Jericho
              E
I couldn\'t believe it
How you could just 
       C#m
stop wanting me
                      B
You burnt down Easter Island
                 F#m   
As if it wasn\'t sacred,
                  E/G#
 as if it wasn\'t sacred to me

[Chorus]
A
 I\'ve seen it in the poems,
 in the sands
B
 I\'ve pleaded with the powers 
and their plans
E                   
 I tried to re-write
           B
 it but I can\'t
It\'s the history,
      E/G#
 the history of man

A
 She stays up, 
he\'s sleeping like a lamb
B
 She begs him, hе says
 he doesn\'t understand
E
 Shе loves him more 
than anyone ever has
B               
 In the history, 
                 F#m
the history of man
                     E
It\'s the history of man (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
                 E
You didn\'t even falter
                 C#m
Didn\'t look back once, did you?
                    B
So Samson blamed Delilah
                     B
But given half the chance I,
 I would have made
 him weaker too

[Pre-Chorus]
 F#m               A
Sirens sound and trumpets 
blaring
 F#m
You walked out, oh
 B
Without sweating

[Chorus]
A
 I\'ve seen it in the poems, 
in the sands
B
 I\'ve pleaded with 
the powers and their plans
E                   
 I tried to re-write
           B
 it but I can\'t
                       E/G#
It\'s the history, the history
 of man (History)
A
 She stays up, 
he\'s sleeping like a lamb
B
 She begs him, 
hе says he doesn\'t understand
E
 Shе loves him more
 than anyone ever has
B
 In the history, 
the history of man (History)

[Bridge]
     F#m
He stole our youth and 
promised heaven
     A
The men start wars yet
 Troy hates Helen
 F#m
Women\'s hearts are
 lethal weapons
 A
Did you hold mine 
and feel threatened?
 F#m
Hear my lyrics,
 taste my venom
 B
You are still 
my great obsession

[Chorus]
A
 I\'ve seen it in the poems,
 in the sands
B
 I\'ve pleaded with the
 powers and their plans
E                   
 I tried to re-write
           B
 it but I can\'t
It\'s the history, 
      E/G#
the history of man (History)
A
 I stay up,
 you\'re sleeping like a lamb
B
 I beg you and you
 don\'t understand
E
 I hold on, 
I try to hold your hand
B
 I save you a seat and 
then you say you wanna stand
C#m
 So you\'ll lose me,
 the best you\'ll ever have
B
 It\'s the history,
 the history of man
