Regina Spektor - Genius next door

^Em Some said the local lake had been en^Amchanted ^D Others said it must have been the ^Gweather ^Em The neighbors were trying to keep it ^Amquiet ^D But I swear that I could hear the ^Glaughter ^Em So they jokingly nicknamed it the ^Amporridge 'Cause over^Dnight that lake had turned as thick as ^Gbutter ^Em But the local kids would still go ^Amswimming, drinking ^D Saying that to them it didn't ^Gmatter

If you just ^Amhold in your ^Cbreath 'Til you ^Dcome back up in ^Gfull ^Am Hold in your ^Cbreath 'Til you ^Dthought it through, you ^Gfool

^Em The genius next door was busing ^Amtables ^D Wiping clean the ketchup bottle ^Glabels ^Em Getting high and mumbling German ^Amfables ^D Didn't care as long as he was ^Gable ^Em To strip his clothes off by the ^Amdumpster ^D At night while everyone was ^Gsleeping ^Em And wade midway into that ^Amporridge ^D Just him and the secret he was ^Gkeeping

If you just ^Amhold in your ^Cbreath 'Til you ^Dcome back up in ^Gfull ^Am Hold in your ^Cbreath 'Til you ^Dthought it through, you ^Gfoolish ^Emchild

^Em In the morning the film crews start a^Amrriving ^D With donuts, coffee and re^Gporters ^Em The kids were waking up hung^Amover ^D The neighbors were starting up their ^Gcars ^Em The garbage men were emptying the ^Amdumpsters ^D Atheists were praying full of ^Gsarcasm ^Em And the genius next door was ^Amsleeping ^D Dreaming that the antidote is ^Gorgasm

If you just ^Amhold in your ^Cbreath 'Til you ^Dcome back up in ^Gfull ^Am Hold in your ^Cbreath 'Til you ^Dthought it through, you ^Gfoolish ^Emchild
