[Intro] C Dm7 C C G C Dm7 C C G [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
C Dm7 C C G [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
[Outro] C Dm7 C C G C Dm7 C C G
