[Intro]
[G#] [B] [C#] [E] [G#] [B] [C#] [E]

[G#]I fell [B]out of heaven
[C#]To be with [E]you in hell
[G#]My sin's [B]not quite seven
[C#]Nothing much [E]to tell
[G#]Lust I [B]haven't craved
[C#]A saintly [E]boy I'm not
[G#]I'll take it [B]to my grave
[C#]A side [E]cursed on rot
[G#]♪
[B]I ride [C#]these roads alone
[E]Beneath the [G#]sulfur sky
[B]Everywhere I roam
[C#]Life is [E]one big lie
[G#]When the [B]fireball goes down
[C#]Out by [E]L.A. ways
[G#]I come [B]into town
[C#]But only [E]for a day
[G#]♪
[B]Starving in [C#]bad means
[E]I pray for [G#]you to understand
[B]A man [C#]sure is weak
[E]But lust [G#]holds my hand
[B]I struggled [C#]and I cried
[E]I pounced [G#]with no avail
[B]At least [C#]I never lied
[E]Or did [G#]the truth derail
