verse: E5  A5 
 
i've got a cupboard with cans of food 
filtered water and pictures of you 
and I'm not comin' out until this is all over 
 
and i'm looking through the glass 
where the light bends at the cracks 
and I'm screamin' at the top of my lungs 
pretendin' the echoes belong 
 
Chorus: 
         F#m    A 
to someone    
                         E5   A5 (x2) 
someone I used to know 
            F#m     B 
and we become    
                                         E5  A5    
silhouettes when our bodies finally go 
 
verse: E5  A5 
 
i wanna walk through the empty streets 
with something constant under my feet 
but all the news reports recommend that I stay indoors 
 
because the air outside'll make  
our cells divide at an alarming rate  
'til our shells simply cannot hold our insides in 
and that's when (that's when)  
 
                     F#m       A 
that's when we'll explode    
                                 E5   A5 (x2) 
and it won't be a pretty sight 
            F#m      B 
and we'll become    
                                        E5   A5    
silhouettes when our bodies finally go
