Elton John, Original Sin (2001)
Key: :[F#] (w: Bernie Taupin, Elton John)
INTRO: [B] [E/B] [B] [F#] :
[x2]
VERSE 1:
Oh, it's
[B] carnival night, and they're
[E/B] stringing the
[B] lights around
[F#] you
Hanging paper
[Abm] angels, painting
[E] little devils on the
[F#] roof
Oh, the
[B] furnace wind, is a
[E/B] flickering of
[B] wings a-
[F#]-bout your face
In a cloud of
[Abm] incense, yeah, it
[E] smells like heaven in this
[F#] place
PRE-CHORUS:
I can't
[E] eat, can't sleep; Still I hunger
[F#] for you when you look at
[D#m] me
That
[E] face, those eyes, all the
[F#] sinful pleasures deep inside
CHORUS:
Tell me
[B] how, you know
[F#] now, the ways and
[Abm] means of getting
[D#m] in
Underneath my
[E] skin, Oh, you were
[F#] always my original
[B] sin
And tell me
[B] why, I shudder in-
[F#]-side, every
[Abm] time we be-
[D#m]-gin
This dangerous
[E] game, Oh, you were
[F#] always my original
[Abm] sin
[E] [B] [F#] [B] [E] [B] [F#]
VERSE 2:
A dream will
[B] fly, the
[E/B] moment that you open up
[F#] your eyes
A dream is just a
[Abm] riddle, ghost from
[E] every corner of your
[F#] life
Up in the
[B] balcony, all the
[E/B] Romeo's are bleeding for
[F#] your hand
blowing theater
[Abm] kisses, reciting
[E] lines they don't under-
[F#]-stand
