We Don't Go Outside Anymore Composer: Henning Ohlenbusch [Verse] G There’s a guy wearing shoes going door to door C D7 G Looking for someone to tie ‘em. G There’s a woman in the sun with a head full of tears C D7 G Looking for some place to cry ‘em. Bm Am And I’m in the hallway away from all the doors C D7 G Cause I don’t go outside anymore C D7 G No, we don’t go outside anymore [Verse] G Frozen in the light there’s a goose in mid flight C D7 G Is it leaving or is it returning? G Does this happen every night? You fly the moon like a kite. C D7 G I can’t tell you the things I’ve been learning Bm Am I’m in the bedroom lying on my back C D7 G Stuck between the ceiling and the floor C D7 G Cause I don’t go outside anymore [Chorus] Bm Bb Am D7 G Don’t go outside, maybe, baby, maybe we’ll survive. [Verse] G On the window pain there’s a memory of a stain C D7 G From a candle that used to be burning G The wax all disappeared. It’s somewhere in the air C D7 G Don’t you find that a little concerning Bm Am And I’m in a funk after breathing in that junk C D7 G It’s built up and I’m coated for sure C D7 G Cause we don’t go outside anymore [Verse] G There's a parade on the sidewalk, people with no faces. C D7 G Each one looks colder than the last one G They’re all heading one direction, but they’re all from different places C D7 G And dressed in last season’s fashion Bm Am And I’m on the staircase, one foot in the air C D7 G Securing the deadbolt on the door C D7 G Cause we don’t go outside anymore [Chorus] Bm Bb Am D7 G Don’t go outside, baby, maybe, maybe we’ll survive. [Instrumental Bridge] [Verse] G There’s a man wearing camouflage. He wants to stand out C D7 G He also wants to let you know that he got you. G He’s shaking his fist as he’s jumping off a cliff C D7 G All because someone told him not to Bm Am And I’m on the sofa soaking in Get Back. C D7 G Distraction is greater than cure C D7 G Cause we don’t go outside anymore [Verse] G See two neighbors meet. One walks across the street. C D7 G They wave, duck their heads, and keep moving G Don’t like the eyes on that tree, the way it’s looking at me. C D7 G What’s all this nature think that it’s proving? Bm Am I’m in the basement scratching out these lines C D7 G On a subject I’d like to ignore C D7 G But we don’t go outside anymore [Chorus] Bm Bb Am D7 G Don’t go outside, baby, maybe, maybe we’ll survive. Bm Bb Am D7 G Don’t go outside, baby, maybe, maybe we’ll survive. [Verse] G Maybe just a step, maybe just a moment, C D7 G Maybe just to the end of the driveway. G Get some sunshine on our arms, we could walk around the block C D7 G Or to the underpass over by the highway. Bm Am Now we’re in the flowers buzzing in the field. C D7 G The horizon with arms open wide C D7 G If you need us, we’ll be outside Bm Bb Am D7 G What a nice bright thing to see at the end of the day
