When I look back upon my life
Eb Ab
It's always with a sense of shame
Fm G
I've always been the one to blame
Cm Fm(ii) Bb
For everything I long to do
Eb Ab
No matter when or where or who
Fm G
Has one thing in common, too
Cm Cm Cm Cm Fm(ii) Bb
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
Cm Cm Cm Cm Fm(ii)
It's a sin
Fm
Everything I've ever done
G
Everything I ever do
Fm
Every place I've ever been
G(higher)
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin
At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin
Cm Ebm(i)
Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
Gbm Cm Bb(?)
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Cm Ebm(i)
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
Gbm Ab
Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
Bb(?) G(i)
And I still don't understand
So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to - it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
