Genius Next Door Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 so this is a really simple version of this song the verse is Em,Am, D,G, Em,Am, D,G etc....

 and the chours is Am,C, D,G etc apart from the last two chouri

 with "you fGoolish Emchild" where it changes just a bit

I think its nice with CAPPO ON 1st but its not really necessary!!

EmSome said the local lake had been Amenchanted

DOthers said it must have been the wGeather

EmThe neighbors were trying to keep itAm quiet

DBut I swear that I could hear the lGaughter

EmSo they jokingly nicknamed it the Amporridge

D'cause overnight that lake had turned to thick asG butter

 BEmut the local kids would still go Amswimming, dAmrinking

DSaying hat to them it doesn't Gmatter

 If you just Amhold in your Cbreath

 Til you Dcome back up inG full

AmHold in your Cbreath

 'til you Dthought it through, you, fGool

The genius next door was busing table

Wiping clean the ketchup labels

Getting high and muttering German fables

Didn't care as long as he was able

To strip his clothes off by the dumpster

At night while everyone was sleeping

And wade midway into that porridge

Just him and his secret he was keeping

 if you justAm hold in your Cbreath

 til you Dcome back up in Gfull

Amhold in your Cbreath

 'til you Dthought it through, you, Gfoollish Emchild

In the morning the film crews start arriving

With donuts, coffee and reporters

The kids are waking up hung over

The neighbors were starting up their cars

The garbage men were emptying the dumpsters

Atheists were praying full of sarcasm

And the genius next door was sleeping

Dreaming that the antidote is orgasm

if you just hold in your breath

til you come back up in full

hold in your breath

'til you thought it through, you, foollish child
