Key: :[F] (w: Bernie Taupin, Elton John)
INTRO: [A#] [D#/A#] [A#] [F] :
[x2]
VERSE 1:
Oh, it's
[A#] carnival night, and they're
[D#/A#] stringing the
[A#] lights around
[F] you
Hanging paper
[Gm] angels, painting
[D#] little devils on the
[F] roof
Oh, the
[A#] furnace wind, is a
[D#/A#] flickering of
[A#] wings a-
[F]-bout your face
In a cloud of
[Gm] incense, yeah, it
[D#] smells like heaven in this
[F] place
PRE-CHORUS:
I can't
[D#] eat, can't sleep; Still I hunger
[F] for you when you look at
[Dm] me
That
[D#] face, those eyes, all the
[F] sinful pleasures deep inside
CHORUS:
Tell me
[A#] how, you know
[F] now, the ways and
[Gm] means of getting
[Dm] in
Underneath my
[D#] skin, Oh, you were
[F] always my original
[A#] sin
And tell me
[A#] why, I shudder in-
[F]-side, every
[Gm] time we be-
[Dm]-gin
This dangerous
[D#] game, Oh, you were
[F] always my original
[Gm] sin
[D#] [A#] [F] [A#] [D#] [A#] [F]
VERSE 2:
A dream will
[A#] fly, the
[D#/A#] moment that you open up
[F] your eyes
A dream is just a
[Gm] riddle, ghost from
[D#] every corner of your
[F] life
Up in the
[A#] balcony, all the
[D#/A#] Romeo's are bleeding for
[F] your hand
blowing theater
[Gm] kisses, reciting
[D#] lines they don't under-
[F]-stand
REPEAT PRE-CHORUS:
