Nothing Ever Happens Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C]

[Verse 1]
[C]Post office clerks put up signs
saying "position [Am]closed"
And [C]secretaries turn off typewriters
and put on their [Am]coats
And [F]janitors padlock the [C]gates
for se[G]curity guards to pa[F]trol
And bachelors phone up their [C]friends
for a drink
While the [G]married ones turn on a [F]chat show
And they'll [C]all be lonely to[F]night
and lonely to[C]morrow

[Verse 2]
[C]Gentlemen, time please,
you know we can't serve any[Am]more
Now the [C]traffic lights change to stop,
when there's nothing to [Am]go
And by [F]five o'clock [C]everything's dead
And [G]every third car is a [F]cab
And ignorant people [C]sleep in their beds
Like the [G]doped white mice in the [F]college lab

[Chorus 1]
And [C]nothing ever [F]happens,
[C]nothing happens at all[F]
The [Am]needle returns to the [F]start of the song
And we [G]all sing along like be[F]fore
And we'll [C]all be lonely to[F]night
and lonely to[C]morrow

[Verse 3]
[C]Telephone exchanges click
while there's nobody [Am]there
The [C]Martians could land in the car park
and no one would [Am]care
[F]Close-circuit cameras in [C]department stores
shoot the [G]same movie every [F]day
And the stars of these films neither [C]die
nor get killed
Just sur[G]vive constant action [F]re play

[Chorus 2]
And [C]nothing ever [F]happens,
[C]nothing happens at all[F]
The [Am]needle returns to the [F]start of the song
And we [G]all sing along like be[F]fore
And we'll [C]all be lonely to[F]night
and lonely to[C]morrow

[Solo 1]
[D][Am][D][Am]
[C][D][Em][D]
[G]

[Verse 4]
And [C]bill hoardings advertise products
that nobody [Am]needs
While [C]"Angry from Manchester"
writes to complain about
[Am]All the repeats on T.V.
And [F]computer terminals [C]report some gains
In the [G]values of copper and [F]tin
While American businessmen
[C]snap up Van Goghs
For the [G]price of a hospital [F]wing

[Chorus 3]
And [C]nothing ever [F]happens,
[C]nothing happens at all[F]
The [Am]needle returns to the [F]start of the song
And we [G]all sing along like be[F]fore

[Chorus 4]
And [C]nothing ever [F]happens,
[C]nothing happens at all[F]
They'll [Am]burn down the synagogues
[F]at six o'clock
And we'll [G]all go along like be[F]fore
And we'll [C]all be lonely to[F]night
and lonely to[C]morrow
