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. 



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.

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. 



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.

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. 


 

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.
