Nothing Ever Happens Chords

Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

CPost office clerks put up signs saying 'Position CloAm7sed'

CAnd secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their Am7coats

FJanitors padlock the Cgates for secGurity guards to pFatrol

 And bachelors phone up their fCriends for a drink

 While the mGarried ones turn on a Fchat show

 And they'll Call be lonely tFonight and lonely tComorrow

C'Gentlemen, time please, you know we can't sAm7erve any more'

CNow the traffic lights change to stop when there'sAm7 nothing to go

FAnd by five' o' clock everything'sC dead

GAnd every third car iFs a cab,

 And ignorant peoCple sleep in there beds

 Like theG doped white mice iFn the college lab

Chorus

 NCothing ever Fhappens, Cnothing happens at Fall:

 The Amneedle returns to the Fstart of the song

 And we Gall sing along like Fbefore

 And we'll aCll be lonely tFonight and lonely Ctomorrow

CTelephone exchanges click while there's nG/Bobody Am7there

 The MCartians could land in the car park and no one could Am7care

 The Fclose-circuit cameras in Cdepartment stores

 Shoot the Gsame movie everydFay

 And the stars of these films neither Cdie nor get killed

 Just to sGurvive constant action rFeplay C/E Dm G/B
