[Verse 1]
D ATell me did you ever hear the story of
E ATwo gods alike, the goddess of love
D AKingdoms away, so far from each other
E AThe world's ever-first long-distance lovers
A*
D AIt's the tale of Venus and Aphrodite
E AI'm known to lose my thoughts but my memory is tidy
D AIt's a story that I love and a story I know well
E AListen to me close so you can hear me tell
A*
D ANo farther than a neighbour, 'cross the sea
E AMet a party for deities
D AThey fell in love upon first glance
E D*Kept apart by the brawls of silly men

D AOh, rumours told, oh, rumours said
E AOf the first embrace these lovers shared
D ATheir beauties combined and shone a great light
E D*Brought an end to the dark, in the dead of night

[Bridge]
EWorshipped by Greeks for love, war and beauty
D*They got down on their knees and prayed, "Aphrodite,
A"Promise me true love, and promise me I win,
A"Against all my enemies who try to make me sin,
A"Promise me I'm pretty and promise me the sea,
A* D* A"Promise me the Romans finally set us free,
A* D* A"Oh, promise me the Romans finally set us free!"
ESimilar to her, Rome had Venus
D*Their prayers just as shallow and their words just as meanless
A"Promise my desires, promise me the West,
A"No matter the cost, even if it's death,
A"Promise me a target, and promise me a dime,
A* D* A"Promise me the Greeks finally abi-de!"

[Verse 3]
D AAgainst their own wills, at war with each other
E AGod fighting God, and brother fighting brother
D ALong story short, it's a tale age as old
D A E ALove ruined by men who fight and who fold
A* D* A*Even the gods are hurt by our actions
A* D* A*It's a little more than the law of attraction
