D (xx0232@1)               AWhat (x02220@1)there was left of us
                                                  DWas (xx0232@1)all covered in dust and thick skin
     AA (x02220@1)half eaten apple

Or the whole Sistine Chapel
                                     DPainted (xx0232@1)on the head of a pin
    GA (320003@1)life long love's worth

Gone up in a smurk
                                                 DAnd (xx0232@1)you didn't even see her waltz in
             GNow (320003@1)this love is a ghost

Having played host
                                   DTo (xx0232@1)the most unoriginal sin


           AAt (x02220@1)the wedding we smiled
                                               DWhile (xx0232@1)some devil played wild violin
ASoon (x02220@1)after the chapel

She offered me that apple
                                                    DOne (xx0232@1)bite and I was gone with the wind
               GAnd (320003@1)you needed no proof

Cause the whole naked truth
                                             DWas (xx0232@1)wearing only an infidel's grin
            AAnd (x02220@1)a proud schoolboy's boast

Of having left his post
                                   DFor (xx0232@1)the most unoriginal sin

INSTRUMENTAL  D/G/D/A/D x2

               ANow (x02220@1)the jukebox is humming
                                              DAll (xx0232@1)the venial shortcomings of men
          ALord (x02220@1)I found me this drink

That can finally sink
                                                       DAll (xx0232@1)the skills that I've been wallowing in
            GBuddy (320003@1)once you get started

Once true love's departed
                                     DYou (xx0232@1)do it over and over again
         ASo (x02220@1)tonight I will toast

Just whoever comes close
                                  DTo (xx0232@1)the most unoriginal sin.
