Del Amitri - Nothing Ever Happens2 guitar chord
Nothing Ever Happens - Del Amitri - tabbed by Lee Martin
--------------------
F Dm
Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed
F Dm
And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats
Bb F
Janitors padlock the gates
C Dm
For security guards to patrol
Bb F
And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink
C Bb
While the married ones turn on a chat show
Prechorus
F Bb F
And they'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
Verse 2
F Dm
Gentlemen time please you know we can't serve any more
F Dm
Now the traffic lights stop when theres nothing to go
Bb F
And by five o clock everythings dead
C Dm
And every third car is a cab
Bb F
And ignorant people sleep in there beds
C Dm
Like the dope white mice in the college lab
Chorus
F Bb F Bb
Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
Dm Bb
The needle returns to the start of the song
C Bb
And we all sing along like before
F Bb F
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
F Dm
Telephone exchanges click while theres nobody there
F Dm
The martians could land in the car park and no-one would care
Bb F
Close-circuit cameras in department stores
C Dm
Shoot the same movie every night
Bb F
And the stars of these films neither died nor get killed
C Dm
Just to survive constant action replay
Chorus
F Bb F Bb
Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
Dm Bb
The needle returns to the start of the song
C Bb
And we all sing along like before
F Bb F
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
Then before verse 4 there's a wee instrumentally bit over the chords:
Gm Dm Gm Dm G F G F
F Dm
Bill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs
F Dm
While angry from Manchester writes to complain about ll the repeats on tv
Bb F
And computer terminals report some gains
C Dm
On the value of copper and tin
Bb F
While American businessmen snap up van Goths
C Dm
For the price of a hospital wing
F Bb F Bb
Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
Dm Bb
The needle returns to the start of the song-
C Bb
And we all sing along like before
F Bb F Bb
Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
Dm Bb
They'll burn down the synagogues at six o clock
C Bb
And we'll all go along like before
F Bb F
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
