Em
Where do we go from here?
    G     					  C
The words are coming out all weird, Where are you now, When I need you?
Em
Alone on an aeroplane,
G                                 C
Falling asleep against the window pane.

My blood will thicken...

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

Talking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happen.

I wish it was the sixties,
I wish we could be happy
I wish, I wish, I wish
That something would

Verse: Same as verse 1.

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...

Guitar 2 plays over the verse:
