Verse 1:
Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed
D BmAnd secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats
G DJanitors padlock the gates
For security guards to patrol
G DAnd bachelors phone up their friends for a drink
A GWhile the married ones turn on a chat show
And they'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
Verse 2:
D BmGentlemen time please, you know we can't serve anymore
Now the traffic lights change to stop, when there's nothing to go
G DAnd by five o'clock everything's dead
A GAnd every third car is a cab
And ignorant people sleep in their beds
A GLike the doped white mice in the college lab
Chorus
And nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
D BmThe needle returns to the start of the song
A GAnd we all sing along like before
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
Verse 3:
D BmTelephone exchanges click while there's nobody there
The Martians could land in the car park and no one would care
G D A GClose-circuit cameras in department stores shoot the same video every day
G DAnd the stars of these films neither die nor get killed
Just survive constant action replay
ChorusAnd nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
D BmThe needle returns to the start of the song
A GAnd we all sing along like before
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
Interlude:

D BmBill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs
While angry from Manchester writes to complain about

G DAnd computer terminals report some gains
On the values of copper and tin
G DWhile American businessmen snap up Van Goghs
A GFor the price of a hospital wing
ChorusD G D G
And nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
D BmThe needle returns to the start of the song
And we all sing along like before
D G D GNo nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
D BmThey'll burn down the synagogues at six o'clock
And we all sing along like before
D G DAnd we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
