The Postal Service - We Will Become Silhouettes (-7)
Intro: G G G G G C/G G C/G
G C/G G C/G G
I've got a cupboard with cans of food, filtered water, and pictures of you and I'm not coming out
C/G G C/G
Until this is all over
G C/G G C/G
And I'm looking through the glass, where the light bends at the cracks
G C/G G
And I'm screaming-at-the-top-of my lungs, pretending
C/G Am G
The echoes belong to someone, someone I used to know
Am G G C/G G C/G
And we become, silhouettes when our bodies finally go, Ba ba ba...
G C/G G C/G
I wanted to walk through the empty streets, and feel something constant under my feet,
G C/G G C/G
But all the news reports recommended that I stay indoors
G C/G G C/G G
Because the air outside will make, our cells divide at an alarming rate until our shells
C/G G
Simply cannot hold, all our insides in,
C/G Am G
And that's when we'll explode, and it won't be a pretty sight
Am G G G G G (slow)
And we'll become, silhouettes when our bodies finally go, Ba ba ba...
G G G
And we'll become, silhouettes when our bodies finally go, Ba ba ba...
G (fast) G G C/G G C/G
And we'll become, silhouettes when our bodies finally go, Ba ba ba...
G G
And we'll become, silhouettes when our bodies finally go
G C/G (repeat and fade)
Ba ba ba...
