A
A D
I've got a cupboard with cans of food,
A D
filtered water, And pictures of you
A D
and i'm not coming out until this is all over
A D
A D
And i'm looking through the glass
A D
where the light bends at the cracks
A D
And i'm screaming at the top of my lungs pretending
A D
The echoes belong
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm D
to someone
Someone i used to know
A D
[Chorus]
Bm E
And we become
silhouettes when our bodies finally go
A D (5x)
A
[Verse 2]
A D
I wanted to walk through the empty streets
A D
And feel something constant under my feet,
A D A D
But all the news reports recommended that I stay indoors
A D
Because the air outside will make
A D
our cells divide at an alarming rate
A D
until our shells simply cannot hold all our insides in,
A D
And that's when, (that's when), that's when
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm D
we'll explode
and it won't be a pretty sight
A D
[Chorus]
Bm E
And we'll become
silhouettes when our bodies finally go
A D (10x) (la la la la la)
Bm E
Enjoy!
