[Verse 1]
Cm            Fm               Bb
  When I look back upon my life
            Eb                   Ab
It's always with a sense of shame
            Fm              G7
I've always been the one to blame
Cm         Fm                Bb
  For everything I long to do
          Eb                  Ab
No matter when or where or who
        Fm                  G7
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

[Chorus]
Cm Ab     Bb
     It's a sin
Cm Ab Bb Fm
         Everything I've ever done
G7
Everything I ever do
Fm
Every place I've ever been
G7
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

[Verse 2]
Cm               Fm                 Bb
  At school they taught me how to be
           Eb                       Ab
So pure in thought and word and deed
     Fm              G7
They didn't quite succeed
Cm         Fm                Bb
  For everything I long to do
          Eb                  Ab
No matter when or where or who
        Fm                  G7
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

[Chorus]
Cm Ab     Bb
     It's a sin
Cm Ab Bb Fm
         Everything I've ever done
G7
Everything I ever do
Fm
Every place I've ever been
G7
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

[Interlude]
Cm
  Father, forgive me
Ebm
   I tried not to do it
Gm
  Turned over a new leaf
Cm                Bb
  Then tore right through it
Cm
  Whatever you taught me
Ebm
   I didn't believe it
Gm
  Father, you fought me
         Ab
'Cause I didn't care
      Bb                    G7
And I still don't understand

[Verse 3]
Cm          Fm               Bb
  So I look back upon my life
        Eb                   Ab
Forever with a sense of shame
            Fm              G7
I've always been the one to blame
Cm         Fm                Bb
  For everything I long to do
          Eb                  Ab
No matter when or where or who
        Fm                  G7
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

[Chorus]
Cm Ab     Bb
     It's a sin
Cm Ab Bb Fm
         Everything I've ever done

Everything I ever do

Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin
