Introdução:

 Em                                                               Am 
Some said the local lake had been enchanted
 D                                                                   G 
Others said it must have been the weather
 Em                                                                   Am 
The neighbors were trying to keep it quiet
 D                                                                   G 
But I swear that I could hear the laughter
 Em                                                               Am 
So they jokingly nicknamed it the porridge
 D                                                                                               G 
'Cause overnight that lake had turned to thick as butter
   Em                                                             Am 
But the local kids would still go swimming, drinking
 D                                                         G 
Saying hat to them it doesn't matter
                         Am                     C 
If you just hold in your breath
                 D                           G 
Til you come back up in full
 Am                     C 
Hold in your breath
                   D                                                 G 
'Til you thought it through, you, fool
 Em                                                               Am 
The genius next door was busing table
 D                                                                   G 
Wiping clean the ketchup labels
 Em                                                               Am 
Getting high and muttering German fables
 D                                                                   G 
Didn't care as long as he was able
 Em                                                               Am 
To strip his clothes off by the dumpster
 D                                                                   G 
At night while everyone was sleeping
 Em                                                               Am 
And wade midway into that porridge
 D                                                                   G 
Just him and his secret he was keeping
                       Am                       C 
If you just hold in your breath
                 D                             G 
Til you come back up in full
 Am                     C 
Hold in your breath
                   D                                               G               Em 
'Til you thought it through, you, foollish child
 Em                                                               Am 
In the morning the film crews start arriving
 D                                                                   G 
With donuts, coffee and reporters
 Em                                                               Am 
The kids are waking up hung over
 D                                                                   G 
The neighbors were starting up their cars
 Em                                                               Am 
The garbage men were emptying the dumpsters
 D                                                                   G 
Atheists were praying full of sarcasm
 Em                                                               Am 
And the genius next door was sleeping
 D                                                                   G 
Dreaming that the antidote is orgasm
                       Am                       C 
If you just hold in your breath
                 D                             G 
Til you come back up in full
 Am                     C 
Hold in your breath
                   D                                               G               Em
