[Verse]
Em
Where do we go from here

The words are coming out all weird

Where are you now, when I need you

Alone on an aeroplane

Falling asleep against the window pane

My blood will thicken

Em
I need to wash myself again
G
to hide all the dirt and pain
C C7
Cus I’ve been scared that there’s nothing underneath
Em
Who are my real friends
G
Have they all got the bends
C C7
Am I really sinking this low
[Refrain]
D Cadd9 G6 Cadd9 G6 Cadd9
baby’s got the bends, oh no
D Cadd9 G6 Cadd9 G6 Cadd9
We don’t have any real friends, whoa, no, no
[Chorus]
Asus2
Just lying in the bar with my drip feed on
Em
Talking to my girlfriend, waiting for something to happen
Asus2
I wish it was the sixties, I wish I could be happy
Em
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen
[Verse]
Em
Where do we go from here
G C
The planet is a gunboat in a sea of fear

And where are you
Em G
They brought in the CIA, the tanks and the whole marines
C C7
To blow me away, to blow me sky high
[Refrain]

baby’s got the bends
D Cadd9 G6 Cadd9 G6 Cadd9
We don’t have any real friends

I wanna live, breathe
C
I wanna be part of the human race

I wanna live, breathe

I wanna be part of the human race, race, race, race

The words are coming out all weird
C C7
Where are you now, when I need you

right if you play along.
