-------------------- A great song, but much easier to play with a capo on the 3rd fret CAPO 3 : xx0232 : 224432 or xx4432 : 320003 : 002220 : 022000 : 022100 Intro ? (x4) Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats Janitors padlock the gates For security guards to patrol And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink While the married ones turn on a chat show Prechorus And they'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow Verse 2 Gentlemen time please you know we can't serve any more Now the traffic lights stop when theres nothing to go And by five o clock everythings dead And every third car is a cab And ignorant people sleep in there beds Like the dope white mice in the college lab Chorus Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all The needle returns to the start of the song And we all sing along like before And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow Telephone exchanges click while theres nobody there The martians could land in the car park and no-one would care Close-circuit cameras in department stores Shoot the same movie every night And the stars of these films neither died nor get killed Just to survive constant action replay Chorus Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all The needle returns to the start of the song And we all sing along like before And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow Play these chords (this is while accordion plays): Bill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs While angry from Manchester writes to complain about all the repeats on tv And computer terminals report some gains On the value of copper and tin While American businessmen snap up van Goths For the price of a hospital wing Chorus Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all The needle returns to the start of the song- And we all sing along like before Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all They'll burn down the synagogues at six o clock And we'll all go along like before And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
