A      D       E
In trouble with the Adogs
Yapping like the Dtrogs on that Etape
Getting stepped on like a Ababy
Maybe slept too Dlong
Is that so Ewrong?
So at sunrise we moved Aon
At lunch the storm had Dgone Eaway
I didn't Aswim
But I watched the Dwaves
While others Estayed
C#munder for over an Dhour
While Bmlovers hovered Earound the towel A  D  E  
CHORUS:
C#mWe washed our mouths at the F#mriverbed
When we C#mnoticed something Dglowing
BmIt was growing
EThings are going to Achange
Hot F#mrainfalls made of C#mmagma
melts DAlaska
And in Bmicy ArgenEtine they Bmsay now I've Eseen it AallF#m  
DmWho knew? VolEcanoes!
In trouble with the Agods
We didn't Dalways Emisbehave
Where the sun shine, Anow it's gone
We&#146;ve been waitinDg for so long
Now it's Eon.
Not that we would Ado ourselves in
Funny how Dthings work out in the Eend
I never learned to Aswim
Now I'm Dwasted, I'm Etoo old
Just C#mhold on for as Dlong as you can
BmI'm so afraid to Edie
CHORUS
The Afrogs, the frogs got it Efirst
And the Abirds all knew it Etoo
The F#mworst was the worse smell on Dearth
ASilver and Esnow
ASilver and Esnow 
Don't C#mbreathe
Don't Dbreathe
Don't Abreathe
Don&#1E46;'t breathe
