The Nightmare Before Christmas - Whats This

[chorus]
G#                  C#
What's this? What's this?
                          C
There's color everywhere
                                             C#
What's this? There's white things in the air
                                        Fm
What's this? I can't believe my eyes
                C#maj7
I must be dreaming.
               Fm                 C
Wake up, Jack, this isn't fair
G#          C#
What's this?

What's this? What's this?
                                  C
There's something very wrong
                                           C#
What's this? There are people singing songs

What's this? The streets are lined with
Fm                      C#maj7
Little creatures laughing
         Fm                    C
Everybody seems so happy
           Fm                 G#7       Gdim7
Have I possibly gone daffy? What is this?
G#7         C#
What's this?

[verse]
                A#m
There are children throwing snowballs
   Fm
Instead of throwing heads
           A#m
They're busy building toys
             Fm
And absolutely no one's dead
           G#m
There's frost on every window
        Bm
Oh, I can't believe my eyes
      A#
And in my bones I feel a warmth
          Dm           A7
That's coming from inside

         D
Oh, look! What's this?
                                C#
They're hanging mistletoe, they kiss?
                            D
Why that looks so unique, inspired
                          F#m            Dmaj7
They're gathering around to hear a story
             F#m            C#
Roasting chestnuts on a fire
A7             D
What's this?

[chorus]
             C#
What's this? In here they've got a little tree,

how queer
                              D
And who would ever think? And why?
                                  F#m       Dmaj7
They're covering it with tiny little things
                  F#                      C#7
They've got electric lights on strings
                        F#m    A7
And there's a smile on everyone
                 Ddim7
So, now, correct me if I'm wrong
                A#    D
This looks like fun! This looks like fun!
      F#                       Bm
Oh, could it be I got my wish?

A        D
What's this?

[verse]
                                            C#
Oh my, what now? The children are asleep
                                           D
But look, there's nothing underneath
                                           F#m
No ghouls, no witches here to scream and scare them
Dmaj7            F#m            C#
Or ensnare them, only little cozy things,
      F#m                         F#m
Secure inside their dreamland
        A         D
(sigh) What's this?

        Bm
The monsters are all missing
                        F#m
and the nightmares can't be found
        Bm
And in their place
                                        F#m
there seems to be good feeling all around
   Am
Instead of screams, I swear,
                   Cm
I can hear music in the air
        B
The smell of cakes and pies
                    D#m    A#
Is absolutely everywhere

        D#
The sights, the sounds,
                                 D
They're everywhere and all around
                        D#
I've never felt so good before,
                                    Gm    D#maj7
This empty place inside of me is filling up
   Gm          D
I simply cannot get enough.
      Gm        A#
I want it, oh, I want it
        Adim7
Oh, I want it for my own
                D#                 G
I've got to know, I've got to know
                  Cm                B
What is this place that I have found?
D#m      B  Cdim7
What is this?

[outro]
