What there was lef
A
t of us
Was all covered in dust and thick skin
D
A hal
A
f eaten apple
Or the whole Sistine Chapel
Painted on the head of a pin
D
A li
G
fe long love's worth
Gone up in a smurk
And you didn't even see her waltz in
D
Now this love
G
is a ghost
Having played host
To the most unoriginal sin
D
At the wedd
A
ing we smiled
While some devil played wild violin
D
A
Soon after the chapel
She offered me that apple
One bite and I was gone with the wind
D
And you needed
G
no proof
Cause the whole naked truth
Was wearing only an infidel's grin
D
And a proud
A
schoolboy's boast
Of having left his post
For the most unoriginal sin
D
INSTRUMENTAL D/G/D/A/D x2
Now the jukebox
A
is humming
All the venial shortcomings of men
D
Lord I fou
A
nd me this drink
That can finally sink
All the skills that I've been wallowing in
D
Buddy once y
G
ou get started
Once true love's departed
You do it over and over again
D
So tonigh
A
t I will toast
Just whoever comes close
To the most unoriginal sin.
