Am (dn) E,Em D, Dm Am-Em-Am
Am Dm
What’s the big deal about going outside?
E Am
I hear there are places where big things can hide
Am Dm
In dark, frightening caves and in menacing trees
E Am
They growl and they roar in their blue dungarees
-----
Am Dm G C (dn)
All through the day, the TV shows me the way
Am Dm G E <stuff> Am
All through the night, I lie and shiver in fright
-----
A7 Cm-Gm Dm-A
Why would they lie? What if we’re doomed?
F#m <openE> D <C#sus>
So I stay in my section, and watch my reflection
Bm <openA> E,E7, <c#dim?>,E7,Am
As shadows grow dark in the room

<instrumental>

Am Dm
The internet showed me the latest disease
E Am
It offers up nothing but more miseries
Am Dm
In tubes and in wires there are voices that moan
E Em Am
I hear them howl through the screen in my phone
-----
<transition>

Cmdim
I’d rather stay inside
Amdim
Locked up in my room
Cmdim Amdim
With everything cozy and cuddly and kind
E Em <susD> A7
And everything safe and warm in my cocoon
Dm E
Just small little me
Am(dn) E,Em D, Dm Am-Em-Am
With my small, little mind
