***** PJs Guitar Chords & Lyrics - http://www.guitarsongs.info *****
Nothing Ever Happens Del Amitri
A F#m
Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed
A F#m
And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats
D A E D
Janitors padlock the gates For security guards to patrol
D A
And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink
E D
While the married ones turn on a chat show
A D A
And they'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
Gentlemen time please, you know we can't serve anymore
Now the traffic lights change to stop, when there's nothing to go
And by five o'clock everything's dead
And every third car is a cab
And ignorant people sleep in their bed
Like the doped white mice in the college lab
Chorus: A D A D
Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
F#m D
The needle returns to the start of the song
E D
And we all sing along like before
A D A
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
Telephone exchanges click while there's nobody there
The Martians could land in the carpark and no one would care
Close-circuit cameras in department stores
Shoot the same movie everyday
And the stars of these films neither die nor get killed
Just survive constant action replay
Repeat Chorus, then instrumental: B B F#m7 F#m7 A B A B
Bill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs
While angry from Manchester writes to complain about
All the repeats on TV
And computer terminals report some gains
In the values of copper and tin
While American businessmen snap up Van Goghs
For the price of a hospital wing
Repeat Chorus x2
