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