Intro:  A   Em   A   Em   A  Em  
CmI've been looking for an oGmriginal sin
FmOne with a twist and a Cmbit of a Fmspin
And since i've, Cmdone all the old ones till they've Gmall been done in
FmNow i'm just Eblooking then i'm gCone with the Fmwind
FmEndlessly Cmsearching, for an Gmoriginal Cmsin
FmYou can dance forever, you've got a fire in your feet
But will it ever be Cmenough, you know that it will never be enough.
FmYou can fly to never land, and never need to sleep.
But will it Cmever be enough, you know it'll never be enough.
AmNot enouEmgh to make the nightmares go away.
AmNot enough to make Emthe tears Drun dry.   
AmNot enough to live a Emlittle Ebetter every day.
EvDmerything that thAmey taught us, waBbs nothing buFt lieEs.
EvertDmhing thing they Ambrought us, was Bbnothing but Cbribes.  
BBut it'll all be over now -
FAll I wanted was a Bbpiece of the night.C  
FI never got an eqCual sDmhare, when the stars are out of Gmsight.
And the Cmoon is down - The natiEbves are so Grestless tonight.
CmI've been looking for an oGmriginal sin, FmOne with a twist and a Cmbit of a Fmspin
And since i've, Cmdone all the old ones till they've Gmall been done in
FmNow i'm just Eblooking then i'm gCone with the Fmwind
FmEndlessly Cmsearching, for an Gmoriginal Cmsin
You can lFmose yourself in pleasure till your body's going numb.
But will it Cmever be enough? You know it'll never be enough.
FmYou can always take whatever you conceivably could want.
But wCmill it ever be enough? You know it'll never be enough.
AmNot enouEmgh to make the nightmares go away.
AmNot enough to make Emthe tears Drun dry.
AmNot enough to live a Emlittle Ebetter every day.
EveryDmthing that they Amtaught us, was nBbothing but lFies. 
EvertDmhing thing they Ambrought us, was Bbnothing but Cbribes.                              B
But the lies are over now -
FAll I wanted was a Bbpiece of the night.C  
FIt never had to get sCo Dmdark when tGmhe stars are out of sight.
And the Cmoon is down - The natiEbves are so Grestless tonight.
N.C.
I've been looking for an original sin, one with a twist and a bit of a spin.
And since I've done all of the old ones till they've all been done in.
Now I'm just looking - for an original sin.
CmI've beeGmn looking for thFme ultimate criCmme, infinite victims, infinitesimal 
Fmtime -
And I'm so Cmvery Gmguilty for nFmo reason or rhymEbe. Now I'm just looking,
and I'm Ckilling some Fmtime - endlessly Cmsearching for the Gmultimate Cmcrime.
CmI've been looking for an oGmriginal sin, FmOne with a twist and a Cmbit 
Fmof a spin
And since i'veCm, done all the old ones till they've Gmall been done in
  FmNow i'm just Eblooking then i'm gCone with the Fmwind  
CmEndlessly sGmearching Cmfor an original sin
CmI'm applying for a lGmicense to thrill, going Fmout on the edge -
Moving iCmn for the Fmkill, and they'll be Cmhell to pay someday,
put it aGmll on the bill. Cause we'll Fmalways be Ebpaying!
And pCaying uFmntil - We're beyond exCmpiration.
With a lGmicense to tCmhrill.
