Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Where do we go now but nowhere

I ^Gmremember a girl^Cm so very well The^Gm carnival drum al^Fl mad in the air Gri^Gmm reapers and skeletons and ^Cma missionary bell O w^Bbhere do we go now but^F nowhere

In ^Gma colonial hotel ^Cmwe fucked up the sun And^Gm then we fucked i^Ft down again Wel^Gml the sun goes up^Cm and the sun goes down Goi^Bbng round and around but ^Fnowhere

The^Gm kitten that padded ^Cmand purred on my lap Now^Gm swipes at my face w^Fith the paw of a bear I ^Gmturn the other cheek and you ^Cmlay into that O w^Bbhere do we go now ^Fbut nowhere

O wake ^Ebup my love my lover wake ^Fup O wake ^Ebup my love my lover wake ^Fup

Across ^Gmclinical benches with not^Cmhing to talk Breathin^Gmg tea and biscuits and the^F Serenity Prayer While the^Gm bones of our child c^Cmrumble like chalk O ^Bbwhere do we go now but ^Fnowhere

I r^Gmemember a girl so^Cm bold and so bright ^GmLoose-limbed and laughing and ^Fbrazen and bare Sits ^Gmgnawing her knuckles in the ^Cmchemical light O ^Bbwhere do we go now but ^Fnowhere

You^Gm come for me now with a^Cm cake that you've made Ra^Gmvaged avenger with a ^Fclip in your hair Full of ^Gmglass and bleach and my ^Cmold razorblades O ^Bbwhere do we go now but ^Fnowhere

O wake ^Ebup, my love, my lover wake ^Fup O wake ^Ebup, my love, my lover wake ^Fup

If they'd ^Gmgive me my clothes back then ^CmI could go home From ^Gmthis fresh, this clean, an^Ftiseptic air Be^Gmhind the locked gates an ^Cmold donkey moans O ^Bbwhere do we go now but ^Fnowhere

A^Gmround the duck pond ^Cmwe grimly mope ^GmGloomily and mournfully we ^Fgo rounds again And ^Gmone more doomed time and with^Cmout much hope Going ^Bbround and around to ^Fnowhere

From the ^Gmbalcony we watched the ^Cmcarnival band The ^Gmcrack of the drum a little ^Fchild did scare I can ^Gmstill feel his tiny fingers ^Cmpressed in my hand O ^Bbwhere do we go now but ^Fnowhere

If ^GmI could relive one ^Cmday of my life If ^GmI could relive just ^Fa single one ^GmYou on the balcony, ^Cmmy future wife O ^Bbwho could have known, but ^Fno one

O wake ^Ebup, my love, my lover make ^Fup O wake ^Ebup, my love, my lover make ^Fup
