Em                         Bm 
She said to me, "Go steady on me. 
D                                                A 
Won't you tell me what the Wise Men said? 
                       Em 
When they came down from Heaven, 
Bm   
Smoked nine 'til seven 
D                           A 
All the shit that they could find, 
                      Em 
But they couldn't escape from you, 
Bm 
Couldn't be free of you, 
D                                               A 
And now they know there's no way out, 
                        Em                               Bm  
And they're really sorry now for what they've done, 
                       D                                                 A 
They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun." 
 
(Chorus) 
Am                    C 
Look who's alone now, 
              G                  D 
It's not me, it's not me. 
Am                            C                                 G                 D 
Those three Wise Men, they've got a semi by the sea. 
Am                    F                
Got to ask yourself the question, 
G                           D 
Where are you now? 
Am                         C 
Got to ask yourself the question, 
G                           D 
Where are you now? 
 
Em                                        Bm 
Really sorry now, they weren't to know. 
                        D                           A 
They got caught up in your talent show, 
                        Em                                                  Bm 
With you pernickety little bastards in your fancy dress, 
                   D                                   A 
Who just judge each other and try to impress, 
                     Em          
But they couldn't escape from you, 
Bm  
Couldn't be free of you, 
           D                                     A 
And now they know there's no way out, 
                         Em                               Bm 
And they're really sorry now for what they've done, 
                      D                                                   A 
They were three Wise Men just trying to have some fun. 
 
Chorus x2 
 
Where are you now? (x2) 
 
Got to ask yourself the question, where are you now? (x2)
