Nothing Ever Happens — Del Amitri
———————
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
Gm Bb
C Bb
For security guards to patrol
Bb F
And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink
Gm Bb
C Bb
While the married ones turn on a chat show
F Gm F
F Bb F
And they’ll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
[snip]
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 Gm F
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
Also, there’s a second guitar with capo on the 5th fret playing:
Verse: C Am C Am F C G F C G F (C F C)
Chorus: C F C F Am F G F C F C
Instr: Dm Am Dm Am D C D C
Hope this is of some use, and not too wrong.
