Don't you remember that snowy December
                 C#m                   F#m                         B 
when we went to see "Singing in the Rain"?
         E                                                           A                 E 
I shouldn't have smuggled in that bottle of gin
               C#m               A                                       E 
'cause after the film, I could barely walk
             B 
But, darling, don't you know
                       A                               E 
it's only human to want to kill
         B                 E 
a beautiful thing
 E                                               A               E 
When I was seven summer lasted forever
       C#m                     F#m                                     B 
I used to chase fireflies through the woods
 E                                                     A                     E 
Tiny green lights circling warm August nights
           C#m                   G#         C#m                     F#m   B 
I'd catch them inside a washed-out old jar
         E                                                       A                 E 
I dreamed of the stars with the jar by my bed,
                   C#m                   A                             E 
but each morning my pretty bugs were dead
           B 
Oh, darling, don't you see
                       A                               E 
it's only human to want to kill
         B                 E 
a beautiful thing
           E                                                       A                         E 
We should have been dancing like lovers in the movie,
               C#m                         F#m                   B 
but I fell and cut my head in the snow
       E                                                   A                     E 
I wanted to tell you all the ways that I loved you
                   C#m               A                       E 
but, instead I got sick on the train
             B 
But, darling, don't you know
                       A                               E 
it's only human to want to kill
         B                 E 
a beautiful thing
             B 
But, darling, can't you see
                       A                               B 
it's only human to want to kill
                             E 
a beautiful thing
