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

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

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

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

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