[G] [C]
[Em] Where do we go from [G] here?
The words are coming out all weird, [C] where are you now?
When I need [Em] you, alone on an airplane
[G] Fall asleep against the [C] window pane
Feeling my blood all [Em] thicker
[A] I [A]
[C]
[Em] need to wash myself for [G] pain
To get all the dirt away, but [C] I'll be scared
So,

[G] Have they all got the bends [C] I'm really sinking?
[Gm] I'm so [D] lonely, [G] [C]
[D] so lonely when [C] [G] it rains
[C] I'm all alone, crying in a bar with my [Em] drip feed on
Talking to my girlfriend, waiting for something to happen
[Am] I wish it wasn't sixties, I [G] wish we could be happy
I wish, I wish, I wish that [E] something would happen
[Em] Where do we go from here?
[G] The rain's a dumb boat, but it'll [C] see me through
Where [D] are you?
[Em] Gone in the [G] submarines, tanks and the homers
[C] Lonely when the bullets die
[D] I'm [G] faced by the guns, [Bm] [C] I know
[G]

[G] Crying in a bar with my drip feed on
Talking to my girlfriend, [Dm] waiting for [E] something to happen
