ALMOST HUMAN
Gene Simmons

[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
Ahh, ha
[Riff 1]
[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ Rhy. Fig 2] (2x)

[Rhy. Fig 1]
I'm almost human, can't help feelin' strange
The moon is out, I think I'm gonna change

[Rhy. Fig 3a w/ Rhy. Fig 3b]
You're so smooth and tender, a living, breathing dream
I've got to have you, baby, I'm listenin' for your scream

[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
I'm almost human, I'm almost a man
I'm almost human, ooh

[Rhy. Fig 1] (2x)
I'm almost human, baby please don't run away
[Riff 2]
'Cause wherever you run I'll be a scream away

[Rhy. Fig 3a w/ Rhy. Fig 3b]
I'm very hungry and you're what I'm thinkin' of
Ooh baby, baby, baby, so hungry for your love

[Rhy. Fig 1]
I'm almost human, oh, almost a man
[Rhy. Fig 4]
I'm almost human, whoo

[Solo over Rhy. Fig 1]

[Rhy. Fig 3a w/ Rhy. Fig 3b and Riff 3]
I'm very hungry and you're what I'm thinkin' of
Ooh baby, baby, baby, so hungry for your love

[Rhy. Fig 1] (repeat and fade)
I'm almost human, I'm almost a man
I'm almost human, I'm almost human
I'm almost human, I'm almost human
I'm almost human, almost, almost, almost a man
I'm almost human
Almost, almost, almost, almost, almost, almost human
I'm almost human, I'm almost human
I'm almost human, almost a man
I'm almost human, almost, almost, almost
I'm almost human
