A5           A5           D5        A5
   High and lonesome out on Times Square
                 A5           D5    A5
   Haven't got a dime, ain't got a prayer
               A5              D5      A5
   Deliver us, Lord, from this golden calf
               A5             D5      A5
   People only want what they cannot have

   Forbidden fruit
              D5                E5          A5          D5
   That's the fruit that you'd better not taste
A5            D#?7
   Forbidden fruit
                  D5               E5          A5       D5
   You've got one life that you'd better not waste

A5            A5             D5        A5
   How can I walk with this ball and chain?
             A5           D5     A5
   How can I land in this hurricane?
              A5            D5    A5
   Or is this part of man's evolution
         A5           D5             A5
   To be torn between truth and illusion?
             D#?7

   Just watch out for the sign of the snake

 Little brother got caught in the web
 He ran off to join the living dead
 Been through the mill, seen the cross on the hill
 He sold his soul just for a thrill
 Forbidden fruit
 In hot pursuit out on a limb
 Forbidden fruit
 Your whole world is closing in

 You got the picture but missed the drift
 About me workin' the graveyard shift
 I never went in for no burglary
  But there's a stranger inside of me
 Forbidden fruit
 Don't you shoot the whole works away
 Forbidden fruit
 It's too high of a price to pay

 How can you hear with a bad connection?
You can't see when there's no reception
Keep your distance, don't fool with taboo
 'Cause it'll overtake and undertake you
 Forbidden fruit
 That's the fruit that you'd better not taste
 Forbidden fruit
 You've got one life that you'd better not waste
