music: Elton John
lyrics: Bernie Taupin


G C G D  G C G D

     G
Oh, it's carnival night,
      C             D
and they're stringing the lights around you,
        Em
hanging paper angels.
     C           D
Painting little devils on the roof.

    G
Oh, the furnace wind,
   C                D
is a flickering of wings about your face,
        Em
in a cloud of incense.
     C             D
Yea, it smells like heaven in this place.

    C
I can't eat, can't sleep.
         D           Bm
Still I hunger for you when you look at me.
   C
That face, those eyes,
    D
all the sinful pleasures deep inside.

    G       D         Em        Bm
Tell me how, you know now, the ways and means of getting in,
       C
underneath my skin.
       D         G  D
Oh, you were always my original sin.
      G         D      Em     Bm
And tell me why, I shudder inside, every time we begin,
        C
this dangerous game.
       D         Em
Oh, you were always my original sin.

       G
A dream will fly,
  C           D
the moment that you open up your eyes.
         Em
A dream is just a riddle,
      C          D
ghost from every corner of your life.

     G
Up in the balcony,
    C            D
all the Romeo's are bleeding for your hand,
         Em
blowing theater kisses,
     C           D
reciting lines they don't understand.

    C
I can't eat, can't sleep.
        D            Bm
Still I hunger for you when you look at me.
   C
That face, those eyes,
    D
all the sinful pleasures deep inside.

    G       D         Em       Bm
Tell me how, you know now, the ways and means of getting in,
       C
underneath my skin.
       D         G  D
Oh, you were always my original sin.
      G         D      Em    Bm
And tell me why, I shudder inside, every time we begin,
        C
this dangerous game.
       D          Em D
Oh, you were always my original sin.

    G       D         Em       Bm
Tell me how, you know now, the ways and means of getting in,
       C
underneath my skin.
       D         G  D
Oh, you were always my original sin.
      G         D      Em    Bm
And tell me why, I shudder inside, every time we begin,
        C
this dangerous game.
       D          Em
Oh, you were always my original sin.
