Tonality
D Bm G A Em E7



D                                                   Bm
Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed
D                                                         Bm
And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats
 G                       D
Janitors padlock the gates
         A                   Bm
For security guards to patrol
            G                     D
And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink
                     A                   G
While the married ones turn on a chat show

       D                     G                   D
And theyʼll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

D					          Bm
Gentlemen time please you know we canʼt serve any more
D					Bm
Now the traffic lights stop when theres nothing to go
G		                  D
And by five o clock everythings dead
A		         Bm
And every third car is a cab
G			          D
And ignorant people sleep in there beds
	   A		                  Bm
Like the dope white mice in the college lab

Chorus:
 D             G          D                  G
Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
         Bm                             G
The needle returns to the start of the song
            A                  G
And we all sing along like before

           D               G                    D
And weʼll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

D					  Bm
Telephone exchanges click while theres nobody there
D					            Bm
The martians could land in the car park and no-one would care
G				D
Close-circuit cameras in department stores
A			      Bm
Shoot the same movie every night
G                                                                                 D
And the stars of these films neither died nor get killed
             A			   Bm
Just to survive constant action replay

Chorus:
 D              G         D                G
Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
         Bm                  G
The needle returns to the start of the song
         A                     G
And we all sing along like before
           D               G                    D
And weʼll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

Em  Bm  Em  Bm  E7  D  E7  D

D				               Bm
Bill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs
D				                Bm
While angry from Manchester writes to complain about all the repeats on tv
G		              D
And computer terminals report some gains
A		     	   Bm
On the value of copper and tin
G			        D
While American businessmen snap up van Goths
            A			Bm
For the price of a hospital wing

Chorus:
D               G         D                G
Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
          Bm                            G
The needle returns to the start of the song-
        A                      G
And we all sing along like before
D              G        D                 G
Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all

Bm				            G
Theyʼll burn down the synagogues at six o clock
             A			   G
And weʼll all go along like before

           D               G                  D
And weʼll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
