"Where Do We Go Now But Nowhere"
Gm Cm
I remember a girl so very well
Gm F
The carnival drum all mad in the air
Gm Cm
Grim reapers and skeletons and a missionary bell
Bb F
O where do we go now but nowhere
Gm Cm
In a colonial hotel we fucked up the sun
Gm F
And then we fucked it down again
Gm Cm
Well the sun goes up and the sun goes down
Bb F
Going round and around but nowhere
Gm Cm
The kitten that padded and purred on my lap
Gm F
Now swipes at my face with the paw of a bear
Gm Cm
I turn the other cheek and you lay into that
Bb F
O where do we go now but nowhere
Chorus:
Eb F
O wake up my love my lover wake up
Eb F
O wake up my love my lover wake up
Gm Cm
Across clinical benches with nothing to talk
Gm F
Breathing tea and biscuits and the Serenity Prayer
Gm Cm
While the bones of our child crumble like chalk
Bb F
O where do we go now but nowhere
Gm Cm
I remember a girl so bold and so bright
Gm F
Loose-limbed and laughing and brazen and bare
Gm Cm
Sits gnawing her knuckles in the chemical light
Bb F
O where do we go now but nowhere
Gm Cm
You come for me now with a cake that you've made
Gm F
Ravaged avenger with a clip in your hair
Gm Cm
Full of glass and bleach and my old razorblades
Bb F
O where do we go now but nowhere
Chorus:
Eb F
O wake up, my love, my lover wake up
Eb F
O wake up, my love, my lover wake up
Gm Cm
If they'd give me my clothes back then I could go home
Gm F
From this fresh, this clean, antiseptic air
Gm Cm
Behind the locked gates an old donkey moans
Bb F
O where do we go now but nowhere
Gm Cm
Around the duck pond we grimly mope
Gm F
Gloomily and mournfully we go rounds again
Gm Cm
And one more doomed time and without much hope
Bb F
Going round and around to nowhere
Gm Cm
From the balcony we watched the carnival band
Gm F
The crack of the drum a little child did scare
Gm Cm
I can still feel his tiny fingers pressed in my hand
Bb F
O where do we go now but nowhere
Gm Cm
If I could relive one day of my life
Gm F
If I could relive just a single one
Gm Cm
You on the balcony, my future wife
Bb F
O who could have known, but no one
Chorus:
Eb F
O wake up, my love, my lover make up
Eb F
O wake up, my love, my lover make up
