AmDmG When I look back upon my life
CF It's always with a sense of shame
DmE I've always been the one to blame
AmDmG For everything I long to do
CF No matter when or where or who
DmE Has one thing in common, too
 
Am, Am, Am, Am, Dm, G It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
Am, Am, Am, Am, Dm, G It's a sin
Dm Everything I've ever done
E Everything I ever do
Dm Every place I've ever been
E Everywhere I'm going to
 It's a sin

EbmF Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
GE And I still don't understand
