[Intro] F F Dm Dm

^DmDrip, drip, drop, bit by bit It's the ^D#dulcet sound of the glacial melt ^FAccompanied by the Beluga

Singing about the hand they've been dealt

^DmThe Emperor^D# and the Arctic ^FFox listen intently ^A#"I'm beginning to get ^Cglimpses of what is called real ^A#life" He says, meaning ^Cmisfortune ^A#"I'm beginning to get ^Cglimpses of what is called real life" ^Dm"Lo^D#st in my^Fopia (Yes, they're) ^DmLos^D#t in myo^Fpia"

[Verse 1]

^Dm7Surrounded by ostriches with ^A#mouths full of sand ^FTheir teeth grind the grains, but their faces don't contort ^Dm7Perplexed, I am unable to ^A#breathe in their skin ^FWe are all vertebrates, but where is their backbone now?

[Chorus]

^A#"I'm beginning to get ^Cglimpses of what is called real ^A#life" He says, meaning ^Cmisfortune ^A#"I'm beginning to get ^Cglimpses of what is called real ^A#life" He says, meaning ^Cmisfortune

[Post-Chorus]

^DmAs the Emperor ^D#watches his numbers plummet ^FThey hear him ^D#scream

"They're living in ^Gmdenial (Of science, ^Cmscience, ^D#science) They're happy to ^Gmdefile (Silence, ^Cmsilence, ^D#silence) Yeah, they're living in ^Gmdenial (Of science, ^Cmscience, ^D#science) They're happy to ^Gmdefile (Silence, ^Cmsilence, ^D#silence)"

[Verse 2]

^Dm7Deprived is the polar bear, ^A#grasping at straws ^FTo safeguard dividends they depend on disbelief ^Dm7Perplexed, I am unable to ^A#breathe in their skin ^FWe are all vertebrates, but where is their backbone now?

[Chorus]

^A#"I'm beginning to get ^Cglimpses of what is called real ^A#life" He says, meaning ^Cmisfortune ^A#"I'm beginning to get ^Cglimpses of what is called real ^A#life" He says, meaning ^Cmisfortune
