C                 F
What there was left of us

                                                  C
Was all covered in dust and thick skin

     F
A half eaten apple

Or the whole Sistine Chapel

                                     C
Painted on the head of a pin

    F
A life long love's worth

Gone up in a smurk

                                                 C
And you didn't even see her waltz in

             F
Now this love is a ghost

Having played host

                                   C
To the most unoriginal sin

           F
At the wedding we smiled

                                               C
While some devil played wild violin

F
Soon after the chapel

She offered me that apple

                                                    C
One bite and I was gone with the wind

               F
And you needed no proof

Cause the whole naked truth

                                             C
Was wearing only an infidel's grin

            F
And a proud schoolboy's boast

Of having left his post

                                   C
For the most unoriginal sin

INSTRUMENTAL C/F/C/F/C x2

               F
Now the jukebox is humming

                                              C
All the venial shortcomings of men

          F
Lord I found me this drink

That can finally sink

                                                       C
All the skills that I've been wallowing in

            F
Buddy once you get started

Once true love's departed

                                     C
You do it over and over again

         F
So tonight I will toast

Just whoever comes close

                                  C
To the most unoriginal sin.
