Gm
She said to me,
Dm
Go-o steady on me,
F                           C
Won't you tell me what the wise
men said when they,
Gm
Came down from heaven,
Dm
Smoked nine till seven,
F                   C
All the shit that they could find,
But they,

Gm
Couldn't escape from you,
Dm
Couldn't be free of you,
F                          C
And now they know there's no way out,
And they're,

A#
Really sorry now for what they've done,
            C
They were three wise men
just trying to have some fun,

Chorus:
Cm           D#
Look who's alone now,
          A#
It's not me,
          F
It's not me,
Cm               D#                 A#
Those three wise men they've got a semi
           F
by the se-ea,
Cm             G#
Gotta ask yourself the question,
A#             F
Where are you now?
Cm            G#
Gotta ask yourself the question,
A#             F
Where are you now?

Really sorry now
They weren't to know
They got caught up in your talent show
With you pernickety little bastards
in your fancy dress
Who just judge each other and try to impress
But they couldn't escape from you
Couldn't be free of you
And now they know there's no way out
And they're really sorry now
for what they've done
They were three wise men just trying
to have some fun

Chorus:
Look who's alone now
It's not me, it's not me
Those three wise men
They've got a semi by the sea
Got to ask yourself the question
Where are you now?
Got to ask yourself the question
Where are you now? - x2

Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Got to ask yourself the question
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
