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
