Nothing Ever Happens  Del Amitri



[C]Post office clerks put up signs saying 'Position Clo[Am7]sed'
[C]And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their [Am7]coats
[F]Janitors padlock the [C]gates for sec[G]urity guards to p[F]atrol
And bachelors phone up their f[C]riends for a drink
While the m[G]arried ones turn on a [F]chat show
And they'll [C]all be lonely t[F]onight and lonely t[C]omorrow
[C]'Gentlemen, time please, you know we can't s[Am7]erve any more'
[C]Now the traffic lights change to stop when there's[Am7] nothing to go
[F]And by five' o' clock everything's[C] dead
[G]And every third car i[F]s a cab,
And ignorant peo[C]ple sleep in there beds
Like the[G] doped white mice i[F]n the college lab
Chorus:
N[C]othing ever [F]happens, [C]nothing happens at [F]all:
The [Am]needle returns to the [F]start of the song
And we [G]all sing along like [F]before
And we'll a[C]ll be lonely t[F]onight and lonely [C]tomorrow

[C]Telephone exchanges click while there's n[G/B]obody [Am7]there
The M[C]artians could land in the car park and no one could [Am7]care
The [F]close-circuit cameras in [C]department stores
Shoot the [G]same movie everyd[F]ay
And the stars of these films neither [C]die nor get killed
Just to s[G]urvive constant action r[F]eplay [C/E]    [Dm]   [G/B]

BRIDGE: D Am7 D Am7
                [C]   [D]   [C/E]     [D/F#]      [C/G]    
[C]Bill hoardings advertise products that [Am7]nobody needs
While '[C]Angry from Manchester' writes to complain about a[Am7]ll the repeats on TV;
And [F]computer terminals[C] report
Some gains on the [G]values of copper and [F]tin,
While American businessmen s[C]nap up Van Goghs
For the p[G]rice of a hospital [F]wing [C/E]     [Dm]   [G/B]
