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
