Chords
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
CPost office clerks put up signs saying 'position Amclosed'
And Csecretaries turn off typewriters and put on their Amcoats
And Fjanitors padlock the Cgates
For seGcurity guards to patFrol
And bachelors phone up their Cfriends for a drink
While the Gmarried ones turn on a Fchat show
And they'll Call be lonely toFnight and lonely toCmorrow
[Verse 2]
CGentlemen time please, you know we can't serve anyAmmore
Now the Ctraffic lights change to stop, when there's nothing to Amgo
And by Ffive o'clock everything's Cdead
And Gevery third car is a Fcab
And ignorant people Csleep in their beds
Like the Gdoped white mice in the Fcollege lab
[Chorus]
And Cnothing ever Fhappens,C nothing happens at Fall
The Amneedle returns to the Fstart of the song
And we Gall sing along like beFfore
And we'll Call be lonely toFnight and lonely toCmorrow
[Verse 3]
CTelephone exchanges click while there's nobody Amthere
The CMartians could land in the car park and no one would Amcare
FClosedcircuit cameras in Cdepartment stores
Shoot the Gsame movie every Fday
And the stars of these films neither Cdie nor get killed
Just surGvive constant action repFlay
[Chorus]
And Cnothing ever Fhappens,C nothing happens at Fall
The Amneedle returns to the Fstart of the song
And we Gall sing along like beFfore
And we'll Call be lonely toFnight and lonely toCmorrow
[Break]

C
[Verse 4]
And Cbill hoardings advertise products that nobody Amneeds
While C"Angry from Manchester" writes to complain about
AmAll the repeats on TV
FComputer terminals Creport some gains in the Gvalues of copper and Ftin
While American businessmen Csnap up Van Goghs
For the Gprice of a hospital Fwing
[Chorus]
And Cnothing ever Fhappens,C nothing happens at Fall
The Amneedle returns to the Fstart of the song
And we Gall sing along like beFfore
And Cnothing ever Fhappens,C nothing happens at Fall
They'll Amburn down the synagogues Fat six o'clock
And we'll Gall go along like beFfore
And we'll Call be lonely toFnight and lonely toCmorrow
