                 AA Piano Chord 

What there was left of us
DD Piano Chord 

Was all covered in dust and thick skin
AA Piano Chord 

A half eaten apple

Or the whole Sistine Chapel
DD Piano Chord 

Painted on the head of a pin
GG Piano Chord 

A life long love's worth

Gone up in a smurk
DD Piano Chord 

And you didn't even see her waltz in
GG Piano Chord 

Now this love is a ghost

Having played host
DD Piano Chord 

To the most unoriginal sin

AA Piano Chord 

At the wedding we smiled
DD Piano Chord 

While some devil played wild violin
AA Piano Chord 

Soon after the chapel

She offered me that apple
DD Piano Chord 

One bite and I was gone with the wind
GG Piano Chord 

And you needed no proof

Cause the whole naked truth
DD Piano Chord 

Was wearing only an infidel's grin
AA Piano Chord 

And a proud schoolboy's boast

Of having left his post
DD Piano Chord 

For the most unoriginal sin

INSTRUMENTAL  D/G/D/A/D x2

AA Piano Chord 

Now the jukebox is humming
DD Piano Chord 

All the venial shortcomings of men
AA Piano Chord 

Lord I found me this drink

That can finally sink
DD Piano Chord 

All the skills that I've been wallowing in
GG Piano Chord 

Buddy once you get started

Once true love's departed
DD Piano Chord 

You do it over and over again
AA Piano Chord 

So tonight I will toast

Just whoever comes close
DD Piano Chord 

To the most unoriginal sin.
