Nothing Ever Happens Del Amitri
Nothing Ever Happens - Del Amitri - tabbed by Lee Martin
--------------------
[F]Post office clerks put up signs saying position cl[Dm]osed
[F]And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their c[Dm]oats
J[Bb]anitors padlock the g[F]ates
For se[C]curity guards to patr[Dm]ol
And b[Bb]achelors phone up their fr[F]iends for a drink
While the ma[C]rried ones turn on a cha[Bb]t show
Prechorus
And the[F]y'll all be lonely toni[Bb]ght and lonely tomo[F]rrow
Verse 2
[F]Gentlemen time please you know we can't serve any more[Dm]
[F]Now the traffic lights stop when theres nothing to go[Dm]
[Bb]And by five o clock everythings dead[F]
[C]And every third car is a cab[Dm]
[Bb]And ignorant people sleep in there bed[F]s
Like the do[C]pe white mice in the college lab[Dm]
Chorus
N[F]othing ever h[Bb]appens, n[F]othing happens at [Bb]all
The n[Dm]eedle returns to the st[Bb]art of the song
And we [C]all sing along like bef[Bb]ore
And we'll a[F]ll be lonely toni[Bb]ght and lonely tomo[F]rrow
[F]Telephone exchanges click while theres nobody there[Dm]
[F]The martians could land in the car park and no-one would[Dm] care
[Bb]Close-circuit cameras in department stor[F]es
[C]Shoot the same movie every night[Dm]
[Bb]And the stars of these films neither died nor get killed[F]
Just to [C]survive constant action repla[Dm]y
Chorus
N[F]othing ever h[Bb]appens, n[F]othing happens at [Bb]all
The n[Dm]eedle returns to the st[Bb]art of the song
And we [C]all sing along like bef[Bb]ore
And we'll a[F]ll be lonely toni[Bb]ght and lonely tomo[F]rrow
Then before verse 4 there's a wee instrumentally bit over the chords:
[Gm] [Dm] [Gm] [Dm] [G] [F] [G] [F]
[F]Bill hoardings advertise products that nobody ne[Dm]eds
[F]While angry from Manchester writes to complain a[Dm]bout ll the repeats on tv
[Bb]And computer terminals repor[F]t some gains
[C]On the value of copper and tin[Dm]
[Bb]While American businessmen snap [F]up van Goths
For the [C]price of a hospital wing[Dm]
[F]Nothing ever [Bb]happens, [F]nothing happens at[Bb] all
The n[Dm]eedle returns to the st[Bb]art of the song-
And we [C]all sing along like bef[Bb]ore
[F]Nothing ever [Bb]happens, [F]nothing happens at[Bb] all
[Dm]They'll burn down the synagogues at six o clo[Bb]ck
And we'l[C]l all go along like befo[Bb]re
And we'll a[F]ll be lonely toni[Bb]ght and lonely tomo[F]rrow
