[Intro]
Am   D/F#  G
Am   D/F#  G
 
 
[Verse 1]
  Am        D/F#
A cheap one,
   G                     F    C  Dm  C  Fmaj7  C
To take you from here to heaven,
G                   F         Am     G   D6  F
Do you believe that that will do for you?
 
 
[Verse 2]
  Am        D/F#
A quick one,
   G                       F    C  Dm  C  Fmaj7  C
To unwind the slow turning hours,
G                   F           Am    G
Do you believe that that's what you deserve?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em  F            C    Dm   C
You touch my arm with your hand,
    G         F                   C  Dm  C
And my secret eye sees your shirt on the floor,
    G       F           C    Dm  C           G
And I pull away while trying to stay by your side.
 
 
[Chorus]
G                 G6  F
And I'm tumbling, tumbling,
G               F       C
Out of the open arms of sin,
G         G6  F
Tumbling, tumbling,
     G                F C
From ragtime to rags again.
 
 
[Interlude]
Am   D/F#  G
Am   D/F#  G
 
 
[Verse 3]
Am    D/F#
Listen,
G                          F    C  Dm  C  Fmaj7  C
I'm thinking words I'm not saying,
     G                    F         Am       G   D6  F
This is not the time to betray my desire for you,
 
 
[Verse 4]
    Am     D/F#
I'm sorry,
      G               F     C  Dm  C  Fmaj7  C
I led you into my indecision,
      G                     F          Am      G
I was hoping that you could wash my confusion away.
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Em  F            C    Dm   C
You touch my arm with your hand,
    G         F                   C  Dm  C
And my secret eye sees your shirt on the floor,
    G       F           C    Dm  C           G
And I pull away while trying to stay by your side.
 
 
[Chorus]
G                 G6  F
And I'm tumbling, tumbling,
G               F       C
Out of the open arms of sin,
G         G6  F
Tumbling, tumbling,
     G                F C
From ragtime to rags again.
 
 
[Interlude]
Am   D/F#  G
Am   D/F#  G
 
 
[Verse 5]
Am        D/F#
Parting,
G                          F    C  Dm  C  Fmaj7  C
Torn from your side with a whisper,
   G                   F         Am       G   D6  F
We stare at the clock aware that it's too late.
 
 
[Verse 6]
Am       D/F#
Trust me,
G                  F    C  Dm  C  Fmaj7  C
Someday we will be lovers,
    G                   F            Am             G
But somehow I wish that I'd shared a cheap one with you.
 
 
[Chorus]
G                 G6  F
And I'm tumbling, tumbling,
G               F       C
Out of the open arms of sin,
G         G6  F
Tumbling, tumbling,
     G                F C
From ragtime to rags again.
 
 
[Outro]
N.C.
Tumbling, tumbling,
N.C.
Out of the open arms of sin,
N.C.
Tumbling, tumbling,
N.C.
From ragtime to rags again.
