Chords with lyrics

E MajorE

E MajorE             A augmentedA   E MajorE
Don't you remember that snowy December
    C# minorC#m     F# minorF#m       BB
when we went to see "Singing in the Rain"?
  E MajorE               A augmentedA     E MajorE
I shouldn't have smuggled in that bottle of gin
    C# minorC#m    A augmentedA          E MajorE
'cause after the film, I could barely walk

   BB
But, darling, don't you know
      A augmentedA        E MajorE
it's only human to want to kill
  BB     E MajorE
a beautiful thing

E MajorE            A augmentedA    E MajorE
When I was seven summer lasted forever
  C# minorC#m      F# minorF#m          BB
I used to chase fireflies through the woods
E MajorE              A augmentedA      E MajorE
Tiny green lights circling warm August nights
   C# minorC#m     G#G#   C# minorC#m      F# minorF#m BB
I'd catch them inside a washed-out old jar
  E MajorE              A augmentedA     E MajorE
I dreamed of the stars with the jar by my bed,
     C# minorC#m     A augmentedA        E MajorE
but each morning my pretty bugs were dead

   BB
Oh, darling, don't you see
      A augmentedA        E MajorE
it's only human to want to kill
  BB     E MajorE
a beautiful thing

 E MajorE           A augmentedA    E MajorE   C# minorC#m      A augmentedA   E MajorE

   E MajorE              A augmentedA       E MajorE
We should have been dancing like lovers in the movie,
    C# minorC#m       F# minorF#m     BB
but I fell and cut my head in the snow
  E MajorE             A augmentedA      E MajorE
I wanted to tell you all the ways that I loved you
     C# minorC#m    A augmentedA      E MajorE
but, instead I got sick on the train

   BB
But, darling, don't you know
      A augmentedA        E MajorE
it's only human to want to kill
  BB     E MajorE
a beautiful thing

   BB
But, darling, can't you see
      A augmentedA        BB
it's only human to want to kill
       E MajorE
a beautiful thing
