	        Intro: Db  Ebm7 Db Db/Ab Ab 
  
             Db 
Oh, it's carnival night 
                   Gb                           Ab         
And they're stringing the lights around you 
F/A                 Bbm 
Hanging paper angels 
             Ebm                    Ab  
Painting little devils on the roof 
  
           Db   
Oh the furnace wind 
       Gb              Ab                     Fm     
Is a flickering of wings about your face 
       Fm/C    Bbm   
In a cloud of incense 
            Ebm                      Ab 
Yea, it smells like Heaven in this place 
  
  
Ab/C   Gb 
I can't eat, can't sleep 
                Ab               Fm 
Still I hunger for you when you look at me 
  Gb             Bbm 
That face, those eyes 
          Ab              Ab/C 
All the sinful pleasures deep inside 
  
  
  Db               Ab                 Bbm             Fm   
Tell me how, you know now, the ways and means of getting in 
                        Gb 
Underneath my skin, 
    Ab                       Db  
Oh you were always my original sin 
      Db                   Ab                Bbm         Fm 
And tell me why, I shudder inside, every time we begin 
                 Gb  
This dangerous game 
       Ab                       Bbm 
Oh you were always my original sin 
  
Ebm7  Db Db/Ab Ab  Db Ebm7 Db Db/Ab Ab 
  
  
(Same as verse 1) 
A dream will fly 
The moment that you open up your eyes 
A dream is just a riddle 
Ghosts from every corner of your life 
  
  
(Same as verse 2) 
Up in the balcony 
All the Romeo's are bleeding for your hand 
Blowing theater kisses 
Reciting lines they don't understand 
  
I can't eat, can't sleep 
Still I hunger for you when you look at me 
That face, those eyes 
All the sinful pleasures deep inside 
  
Tell me how, you know now, the ways and means of getting in 
Underneath my skin,  
Oh you were always my original sin 
And tell me why, I shudder inside, every time we begin  
This dangerous game 
  
     Ab                       Bbm  Ab (Repeat Chorus) 
Oh you were always my original sin 
  
Tell me how, you know now, the ways and means of getting in 
Underneath my skin,  
Oh you were always my original sin 
And tell me why, I shudder inside, every time we begin  
This dangerous game 
  
       Ab                       Bbm 
Oh you were always my original sin 
  
Fine: Ebm7  Db Db/Ab Ab 
Db Ebm7 Db Db/Ab Ab 
Db Ebm7 Db Db/Ab (Strings fade out)
