[Intro] | D | D/A | D | | Bm7 | Am | D/A | [Verse 1]
D    D/A   D         D/B      D    D/A   D
Now that I've used up all my ideas

F     D  Am        D           G
Here in my little house by the sea

  Em            D/F#    A        D            Bm7
I search for a usable memory but none comes to me
[Verse 2]
D    D/A   D         D/B      D    D/A   D
In grade one, my teacher could do embalming

F     D  Am        D           G
She'd stuff the bodies of dead little birds

  Em            D/F#    A        D            Bm7
She told us if ever we found one, just to bring it to her
[Chorus]
F                              Am
And in the science room was an iguana

F                 E
It lay very still in its cage

Bm               G        C
And we'd feed him living flies
[Verse 3]
D    D/A   D         D/B      D    D/A   D
Then she'd read the old testament to us

F     D  Am        D           G
But first she'd remind us the stories were true

  Em            D/F#    A        D            Bm7
And we'd hear of locusts and plagues and the tortures they knew
[Chorus]
F                              Am
And in the science room was an iguana

F                  E
I remember it now in my house

Bm               G        C
