Verse:

look outside the sky is grey
And the clouds are filled with rain
It makes me jealous how it opens up and
I^Òm stuck inside again
I^Òm like a sitcom polyester family
Inside my t.v.

Pre Chorus:
C                    D
I^Òm the boy in the bubble and you
G    G/F#   Em
Can^Òt touch me
C
I^Òll never open up
    D
I^Òm never coming out and

Chorus:
G   F          C                D
I fear every time when the government calls
G     F      C            D
I^Òm absent hiding in my closet
G    F        C          D
I feel like a news correspondent
G      F           C           D
Got lockjaw can^Òt tell you that I love you
G      F           C           D
Got lockjaw can^Òt tell you that I love you

Verse:

I stand in the mirror and I pull my hair out
I can^Òt control my thoughts
I wonder why my eyes are dry as a desert
My stomach^Òs tied in knots

Pre Chorus:
C                                  D
I^Òm like a freak show sitting on a sidewalk
G      G/F#   Em
My outline drawn in chalk, yeah
C                             D
I freeze every time I hear the phone ring
G     G/F#   Em
I^Òll never hear you knock
C
I^Òll never open up
     D
I^Òm never coming out and

I fear every time when the government calls
G     F      C            D
I^Òm absent hiding in my closet

I feel like a news correspondent
G      F           C           D

I thumb through magazines to garner love facts
Cosmo^Òs got seven tips
I pick up the phone and I try to call you
No words just frozen lips, yeah

Pre Chorus:
C                               D
I send a message, but you know it^Òs always cryptic
G    G/F#    Em
No sound on my t.v. yeah
C                     D
I^Òm the boy in the bubble and you

Can^Òt touch me
C
I^Òll never open up
     D
I^Òm never coming out and
