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

          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

          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
