"Where Do We Go Now But Nowhere"


 G minorGm       C minorCm
I remember a girl so very well
  G minorGm        FF
The carnival drum all mad in the air
  G minorGm             C minorCm
Grim reapers and skeletons and a missionary bell
  Bb majorBb          FF
O where do we go now but nowhere

  G minorGm        C minorCm
In a colonial hotel we fucked up the sun
  G minorGm        FF
And then we fucked it down again
  G minorGm        C minorCm
Well the sun goes up and the sun goes down
  Bb majorBb           FF
Going round and around but nowhere

  G minorGm         C minorCm
The kitten that padded and purred on my lap
  G minorGm         FF
Now swipes at my face with the paw of a bear
 G minorGm              C minorCm
I turn the other cheek and you lay into that
  Bb majorBb        FF
O where do we go now but nowhere

Chorus:
     Eb MajorEb            FF
  O wake up my love my lover wake up
     Eb MajorEb            FF
  O wake up my love my lover wake up

    G minorGm            C minorCm
Across clinical benches with nothing to talk
    G minorGm            FF
Breathing tea and biscuits and the Serenity Prayer
     G minorGm          C minorCm
While the bones of our child crumble like chalk
 Bb majorBb           FF
O where do we go now but nowhere

  G minorGm        C minorCm
I remember a girl so bold and so bright
G minorGm              FF
Loose-limbed and laughing and brazen and bare
   G minorGm             C minorCm
Sits gnawing her knuckles in the chemical light
 Bb majorBb           FF
O where do we go now but nowhere

  G minorGm           C minorCm
You come for me now with a cake that you've made
 G minorGm          FF
Ravaged avenger with a clip in your hair
    G minorGm           C minorCm
Full of glass and bleach and my old razorblades
 Bb majorBb           FF
O where do we go now but nowhere

Chorus:
     Eb MajorEb             FF
  O wake up, my love, my lover wake up
     Eb MajorEb             FF
  O wake up, my love, my lover wake up

     G minorGm              C minorCm
If they'd give me my clothes back then I could go home
   G minorGm            FF
From this fresh, this clean, antiseptic air
 G minorGm            C minorCm
Behind the locked gates an old donkey moans
 Bb majorBb           FF
O where do we go now but nowhere

 G minorGm         C minorCm
Around the duck pond we grimly mope
G minorGm             FF
Gloomily and mournfully we go rounds again
  G minorGm              C minorCm
And one more doomed time and without much hope
   Bb majorBb         FF
Going round and around to nowhere

     G minorGm           C minorCm
From the balcony we watched the carnival band
  G minorGm             FF
The crack of the drum a little child did scare
   G minorGm             C minorCm
I can still feel his tiny fingers pressed in my hand
 Bb majorBb           FF
O where do we go now but nowhere

  G minorGm         C minorCm
If I could relive one day of my life
  G minorGm         FF
If I could relive just a single one
G minorGm         C minorCm
You on the balcony, my future wife
 Bb majorBb            FF
O who could have known, but no one

Chorus:
     Eb MajorEb             FF
  O wake up, my love, my lover make up
     Eb MajorEb             FF
