2. She deceived me but believe me it was alright
To touch her lips was to kiss the blades of her knives
Why do things we know are wrong feel so right?
Worth a lifetime of pain
For one night to sing her name
Oh, Delilah?
I was the strongest man alive
'Till you came along - my Delilah

Well I'll never be the same
Ab G
Cause that girl - yeah, she's to blame
Ab G
How could I love again
Ab G
Since she took my heart away.
(same chords here!)
And then someone said her name
And I tore at my flesh to dull the pain of the sound
And ripped from the chains and the walls came down
And I lay covered and bound
E
And I called out her name?
