Hey

Em
Where do we go from here 
     G
The words are coming out all weird
                 C
Where are you now, when I need you
   Em                  G
Alone on an airplane, falling asleep
                  C
Against the windowpane my blood will thicken

A7     C7

   Em
I need to wash myself again
    G
To hide all the dirt and pain 
              C                                     C7
'cos I'd be scared, that there's nothing underneath
 Em                        G
Who are my real friends? Have they all got the bends?

Am I really sinking this low?

I'm just lying in a bar with my drip feed on,
                                                     E
Talking to my girlfriend, waiting for something to happen
       A
And I wish it was the sixties I wish I could be happy, 
                                              E
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen

E     Bb/E

The planet is a gunboat, in a sea of fear, and where are you?
        Em                        G
They brought in the C.I.A, the tanks and the whole marines
            C
To blow me away, to blow me sky high

  D                                Cadd9      G/B  Cadd9
         And my baby's got the bends
