[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,
Talking to my girlfriend waiting for something to ha[Em]ppen.
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...

[Cborus]
My baby's got the bends..
We don't have any real friends...
I'm just [A]lying in a bar,
With my drip feed on.
Talking to my girlfriend,
Waiting for something to h[Em]appen.
I [A]wish it was the sixties,
I wish i could be happy,
I wish, I wish, I wish,
That something would [C(2)]Happen...
