A Beautiful Thing

Written by Brett Sparks/Rennie Sparks

	  		
Intro: E 

E                         A      E 
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 E
