Fleet ing joy and fad ing ec sta sy.

Here it goes a gain, oh.

(Ebmaj7)Sneak ing fruit from the for bid den free.

Sweet taste of sin.

And I’m (A)do in’ it a (Abmaj7)gain.

but (Ebmaj7)here it (Dbmaj7)goes a gain.

You said you knew me well and I had that fa mil iar smell, and asked me, (Ebmaj7)“How am I ev er gon na learn to put my trust in you
