Em Where do we go from here G The words are coming out all weird C C7 Where are you now, when I need you Em Alone on an aeroplane G C Falling asleep against the window pane C7 My blood will thicken I need to wash myself again To hide all the dirt and pain 'Cause I'd be scared that there's nothing underneath But who are my real friends? Have they all got the bends? am I really sinking this low? Chorus: D C G C G C Baby’s got the bends, oh no We don’t have any real friends, whoa, no, no A Just lying in the bar with my drip feed on Talking to my girlfriend, Em waiting for something to happen A I wish it was the sixties, I wish I could be happy I wish, I wish, Em I wish that something would happen 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 Chorus Just lying in the bar with my drip feed on Talking to my girlfriend, waiting for something to happen I wish it was the '60s, I wish I could be happy I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen G I wanna live, breathe C I wanna be part of the human race G I wanna live, breathe C I wanna be part of the human race, race, race, race Where do we go from here The words are coming out all weird Where are you now, when I need you | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C  C7  D  Em  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
