Elton John, Original Sin (2001)
^{Key: :[A] (w: Bernie Taupin, Elton John)}
INTRO: [D] [G/D] [D] [A] : [x2]

VERSE 1:
Oh, it's [D] carnival night, and they're [G/D] stringing the [D] lights around [A] you
Hanging paper [Bm] angels, painting [G] little devils on the [A] roof
Oh, the [D] furnace wind, is a [G/D] flickering of [D] wings a-[A]-bout your face
In a cloud of [Bm] incense, yeah, it [G] smells like heaven in this [A] place

PRE-CHORUS:
I can't [G] eat, can't sleep; Still I hunger [A] for you when you look at [F#m] me
That [G] face, those eyes, all the [A] sinful pleasures deep inside

CHORUS:
Tell me [D] how, you know [A] now, the ways and [Bm] means of getting [F#m] in
Underneath my [G] skin, Oh, you were [A] always my original [D] sin
And tell me [D] why, I shudder in-[A]-side, every [Bm] time we be-[F#m]-gin
This dangerous [G] game, Oh, you were [A] always my original [Bm] sin
[G] [D] [A] [D] [G] [D] [A]

VERSE 2:
A dream will [D] fly, the [G/D] moment that you open up [A] your eyes
A dream is just a [Bm] riddle, ghost from [G] every corner of your [A] life
Up in the [D] balcony, all the [G/D] Romeo's are bleeding for [A] your hand
blowing theater [Bm] kisses, reciting [G] lines they don't under-[A]-stand
