Sin Of Pity

September 21st, 2012

Lyrics And Chords

G add2      G    

Burning tonight

G add2      G

Don’t know what to do

Emin                                                                           C

I pray that some sweet zephyr takes this prayer to you

G add2      G                        G add2      G 

Feel so alone in this relentless rain

Emin 

I want to hear your voice

C

Want to touch you again

D                                           C

I know your conscience haunts you

D              C          Cadd2

But I want you

Gmaj7 G         Emin

It’s a sin of pity

C                                  Cadd2

It’s love that you betray

Gmaj7 G         Emin

It’s a sin of pity

C                                  Cadd2

And you’ve got penance to pay

G                           Emin

Why do you make it last?

C                                  Cmaj7

Kill it now, kill it fast

Gmaj7 G         Emin             C        Cadd2 

Cry, cry baby, for this sin

INTRO ; G add2      G  X  4

G add2      G          G add2      G 

Tell ourselves it’s just a lie

Emin 

We’d love to believe it

C

But it would not die

G add2      G                                                        G add2      G

You say you’re bound by promises, bound by stealth

Emin

Untie yourself

D                                  C

I know it’s now or never

D                                  C      Caddd2

We should be together

Gmaj7 G         Emin

It’s a sin of pity

C                                  Cadd2

It’s love that you betray

Gmaj7 G         Emin

It’s a sin of pity

C                                  Cadd2

And you’ve got penance to pay

G                           Emin

Why do you make it last?

C                                  Cmaj7

Kill it now, kill it fast

Gmaj7 G         Emin             C        Cadd2 

Cry, cry baby, for this sin

Midsection ; D      Amin  X  2

Cadd2        

G add2      G

It’s not him that you love

G add2      G

You realise 

Emin                                     C

The reflection of yourself in his eyes

G add2      G                                      G add2      G

Tell me that you’re waiting for the sky to fall

Emin                                     C

Love makes fools and princes of us all

D                                  C

I know your conscience haunts you

D                                  C      Caddd2

But I want you

Gmaj7 G         Emin

It’s a sin of pity

C                                  Cadd2

It’s love that you betray

Gmaj7 G         Emin

It’s a sin of pity

C                                  Cadd2

And you’ve got penance to pay

G                           Emin

Why do you make it last?

C                                  Cmaj7

Kill it now, kill it fast

Gmaj7 G         Emin             C        Cadd2 

Cry, cry baby, for this sin

It’s a sin

 

Lyrics

 

Burning tonight

Don’t know what to do

I pray that some sweet zephyr takes this prayer to you

Feel so alone in this relentless rain

I want to hear your voice

Want to touch you again

I know your conscience haunts you

But I want you

 

It’s a sin of pity

It’s love that you betray

It’s a sin of pity

And you’ve got penance to pay

Why do you make it last?

Kill it now, kill it fast

Cry, cry baby, for this sin

 

Tell ourselves it’s just a lie

We’d love to believe it

But it would not die

You say you’re bound by promises, bound by stealth

Untie yourself

I know it’s now or never

We should be together

 

It’s a sin of pity

It’s love that you betray

It’s a sin of pity

And you’ve got penance to pay

Why do you make it last?

Kill it now, kill it fast

Cry, cry baby, for this sin

 

It’s not him that you love

You realise

The reflection of yourself in his eyes

Tell me that you’re waiting for the sky to fall

Love makes fools and princes of us all

I know your conscience haunts you

But I want you

 

It’s a sin of pity

It’s love that you betray

It’s a sin of pity

And you’ve got penance to pay

Why do you make it last?

Kill it now, kill it fast

Cry, cry baby, for this sin

 

It’s a sin
