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
Continues after the ad
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 [Other]
