The Bends

[Intro:] D C G/B C

  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
Alone in an aeroplane
 G                                 C
Falling asleep against the window pane
                     A/C# C
My blood will Thicken

I need to wash myself again
To hide all the dirt and pain
I'd be scared that there's nothing underneath
And who are my real friends?
Have they all got the bends?
Am I really sinking this low?

D                  C   G/B C D
My baby's got the bends
                         C   G/B C
We don't have any real friends
     A
I'm lying in a bar with my drip feed on
                                                   Em
Talking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happen
       A
And I wish it was the sixties I wish I could be happy
                                             Em
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen

Where do we go from here?
The planet is a gunboat in a sea of fear
Where are you when I need you?
They brought in the submarines
The tanks, and the whole marines to blow me away
To blow me sky high

Solo: G C

I want to live and breathe
