A Beautiful Thing

Intro: Don't you remember that snowy December when we went to see "Singing in the Rain"? I shouldn't have smuggled in that bottle of gin 'cause after the film, I could barely walk But, darling, don't you know it's only human to want to kill a beautiful thing When I was seven summer lasted forever I used to chase fireflies through the woods Tiny green lights circling warm August nights I'd catch them inside a washed-out old jar I dreamed of the stars with the jar by my bed, but each morning my pretty bugs were dead Oh, darling, don't you see it's only human to want to kill a beautiful thing |-------------------------------------------------------------| |-------------------------------------------------------------| |-------4----6------------------------------------------------| |---4-6--------4b------------7-7-6-----4-6-4------------------| |-7----------------7---7-4-7---------7-------7----------------| |-----------------------------------------------8---8/7---7/0-| We should have been dancing like lovers in the movie, but I fell and cut my head in the snow I wanted to tell you all the ways that I loved you but, instead I got sick on the train But, darling, don't you know it's only human to want to kill a beautiful thing But, darling, can't you see it's only human to want to kill a beautiful thing
