Verse 1:
          C
Oh, it's carnival night
               F                   G         Gsus4-G
And they're stringing the lights around you
              Am
Hanging paper angels
          Dm7                  G     Gsus4-G
Painting little devils on the roof

        C
Oh the furnace wind
       F                   G             Gsus4-G 
Is a flickering of wings about your face
              Am
In a cloud of incense
           Dm7                        G 
Yeah, it smells like Heaven in this place


Bridge:
        F
I can't eat, can't sleep
                G                        Em
Still I hunger for you when you look at me
      F
That face, those eyes
         G
All the sinful pleasures deep inside


Chorus:
         C             G                 Am              Em
Tell me how, you know now, the ways and means of getting in
                F
Underneath my skin,
            G                   C
Oh you were always my original sin
              C               G           Am        Em
And tell me why, I shudder inside, every time we begin
                F 
This dangerous game
            G                   C  Dm7-C C-G
Oh you were always my original sin

Verse 2:
               C
A dream will fly
     F                   G            Gsus4-G
The moment that you open up your eyes
                   Am
A dream is just a riddle
            Dm7                   G    Gsus4-G
Ghosts from every corner of your life
           C
Up in the balcony
         F                   G            Gsus4-G 
All the Romeos are bleeding for your hand
                 Am
Blowing theater kisses
          Dm7                    G
Reciting lines they don't understand

Bridge:
        F
I can't eat, can't sleep
                G                        Em
Still I hunger for you when you look at me
      F
That face, those eyes
         G
All the sinful pleasures deep inside


Chorus:
         C             G                 Am              Em
Tell me how, you know now, the ways and means of getting in
                F
Underneath my skin,
            G                   C
Oh you were always my original sin
              C               G           Am        Em
And tell me why, I shudder inside, every time we begin
                F 
This dangerous game
            G                   Am    G
Oh you were always my original sin
         C             G                 Am              Em
Tell me how, you know now, the ways and means of getting in
                F
Underneath my skin,
            G                   C
Oh you were always my original sin
              C               G           Am        Em
And tell me why, I shudder inside, every time we begin
                F 
This dangerous game
            G                   Am   Dm7-C C-G
Oh you were always my original sin
