[Am][Dm][Bb][F]
[Dm]

[Verse 1]
Drip,
[Am]drip, [Dm]drop, bit by bit
It's the [Bb]dulcet sound of the glacial melt
Ac[Dm]companied [F]by the Bel[Dm]uga
Singing [F]about the [Dm]hand
they've [F]been dealt
The [Am]Em p[Dm]eror[A][Bb]
and the Arctic [C]Fox[Dm]
[F]Listen [Dm]inten[C]tl[F]y[Dm][F][Dm][F]

[Verse 2]
"I'm [F]beginning to get glimpses
[C]of wha[G]t is [C]called real lif[F]e"
He says, meaning [C]misfortune
"I'm [F]beginning [Dm]to ge[F]t glim[C]pses of wh[G]at[C] is[Em]
called [G]real [Am]life"[Asus4][Dm][Asus4][Dm][Bb]

Surrounded [F]by os

[Verse 3]
[Am]triches with
[Bb]mouths full [F]of [Am]sand[Bb][C]
Their teeth grind the grains
But their faces don't contort
Per[Am]plexed, I [F]am un[Am]able
to [Bb]breathe [G]in [F]their [Bb]skin
[C]We are all vertebrates
But where is their backbone [F]now?

[Bb](of science!)
They're happy to de[Dm]file[F]
[G](si[Bb]lence!)"

He says, meaning [C]mis[G] fortune

[Verse 8]
De[Am]prived [G]is [F]the [Am]polar bear,
[Bb]grasping [F]at [Am]straws[Bb][C]
To safeguard dividends they
depend on disbelief
Per[Am]plexed I [F]am un[Am]able to
[Bb]breathe [G]in [F]their [Am]skin[Bb]
[C]We are all vertebrates but where
is their backbone [F]now?
