[Verse]
I've got a cupDboard with cans of foGod, filtered watDer, 
And pictures of yGou and i'm not Dcoming out
Until thGis is all overD  G  
And i'm loDoking through the Gglass where the liDght bends
At the craGcks
And i'm scrDeaming at the top of my lunGgs preteDnding 
The echoes beloGng to soEmmeone
SoEmmeone i used to Dknow
And we bEmecome silhouettes when our bodies finalDly go
BDa Gba DbGa...
[Chorus]
I wanted to Dwalk through the empGty streets
And feel somethinDg constant under my Gfeet,
But all the nDews reports recoGmmended that
I stay indoorDsG  
Because the Dair outside will make Gour cells
DDivide at an alarming rGate until our sDhells
Simply cannot hoGld all our insDides in,G  
And that's when we'll eEmxplode
(and it won't be a pretty Dsight)
[Bridge]
EmAnd we'll become silhouettes when our bodies finDally go
BDa Dba DbDa...
And wDe'll become silhouettes Dwhen our bodies finDally go
BDa ba ba...D  
And we'll become silhouettes wheDn our bodies finally go
BDa bGa bDa..G.
And we'll becomDe silhouettes when Dour bodies finally go
BDa ba ba...G

I've got a cupboard with cans of food, filtered water,

And pictures of you and i'm not coming out

And i'm looking through the glass where the light bends

At the cracks

I wanted to walk through the empty streets

D G

And feel something constant under my feet,

D G

But all the news reports recommended that

D G

I stay indoors

D G

Because the air outside will make our cells

D G D

Divide at an alarming rate until our shells

G D G

Simply cannot hold all our insides in,

And that's when we'll explode

(and it won't be a pretty sight)
