D          A
What there was left of us

                                  D
Was all covered in dust and thick skin

  A
A half-eaten apple
Or the whole Sistine Chapel
                          D
Painted on the head of a pin

  G
A life long love's work
Gone up in a smirk
                                  D
And you didn't even see her waltz in

         A
Now this love is a ghost 
For having played host
                       D
To the most unoriginal sin
[Verse 2]
       A
At the wedding we smiled

                                D
While some devil played wild violin

     A
Soon after the chapel
She offered me that apple
                                 D
One bite and I was gone with the wind

        G
And you needed no proof
'Cause the whole naked truth
                              D
Was wearing only an infidel's grin

      A
And a proud schoolboy's boast 
For having left his post
                        D
For the most unoriginal sin
[Interlude] D D G G D D A A7 D D [Verse 3]
        A
Now the jukebox is humming

                               D
All the venial shortcomings of men

      A
But I found me this drink
That can finally sink
                                   D
All this guilt I've been wallowing in

      G
Buddy once you get started
Once true love's departed
                         D
You do it over and over again

     A
So tonight I will toast
Just whoever comes close
                       D
To the most unoriginal sin

       A
Yeah tonight I will toast
Just whoever comes close
                       D
To the most unoriginal sin
