[Verse] :
Em
Where do we go from here?
    G
The words are coming out all weird.
              C
Where are you now,

When I need you?
Em
Alone on an aeroplane,
G                                 C
Falling asleep against the window pane.

My blood will thicken...

[Verse]
I need to wash myself again,
To hide all the dirt and pain,
Cause I'd be scared...
That there's nothing underneath.

Em
Who are my real friends?
G
Have they all got the bends?
            C
Am I really sinking

    Th  -  is    low?

                                                    Em
Talking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happen.
I wish it was the sixties,
I wish we could be happy
I wish, I wish, I wish
That something would

    happen...

[Verse]
Where do we go from here?
The planet is a gunboat, In a sea of fear...
And where are you?
They brought in the CIA,
The tanks and the whole marines to blow me away, To blow me sky high...
