D5                 A5
What there was left of us
                                                  D5
Was all covered in dust and thick skin
     A5
A half eaten apple

Or the whole Sistine Chapel
                                     D5
Painted on the head of a pin
    G5
A life long love's worth

Gone up in a smurk
                                                 D5
And you didn't even see her waltz in
             G5
Now this love is a ghost 

Having played host 
                                   D5
To the most unoriginal sin


           A5
At the wedding we smiled
                                               D5
While some devil played wild violin
A5
Soon after the chapel

She offered me that apple
                                                    D5
One bite and I was gone with the wind
               G5
And you needed no proof

Cause the whole naked truth
                                             D5
Was wearing only an infidel's grin
            A5
And a proud schoolboy's boast 

Of having left his post
                                   D5
For the most unoriginal sin

INSTRUMENTAL  D/D/D5 x2

               A5
Now the jukebox is humming
                                              D5
All the venial shortcomings of men
          A5
Lord I found me this drink

That can finally sink
                                                       D5
All the skills that I've been wallowing in
            G5
Buddy once you get started

Once true love's departed
                                     D5
You do it over and over again
         A5
So tonight I will toast

Just whoever comes close 
                                  D5
To the most unoriginal sin.
