[Verse] :

[Em]Where do we go from here?

The [G]words are coming out all weird.

Where are you [C]now,

When I need you?

[Em]Alone on an aeroplane,

[G]Falling asleep against the window [C]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?

Am I really [C]sinking

Th - is low?

I'm just [A]lying in a bar with my drip feed on,

[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...
