C                                                Am
Verse:        Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed
     C                                                 Am
And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats
 F                     C
Janitors padlock the gates
       G                   F
For security guards to patrol
     F                         C
And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink
           G                       F
While the married ones turn on a chat show
            C                F         G        C
And they'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

C                                                  Am
Verse:        Gentlemen time please, you know we can't serve anymore
          C                                                   Am
Now the traffic lights change to stop, when theres nothing to go
        F                         C
And by five o'clock everything's dead
    G                     F
And every third car is a cab
     F                C
And ignorant people sleep in their beds
          G                       F
Like the doped white mice in the college lab

 C            F      C                    F
Chorus:        Nothing ever happens,  nothing happens at all
     Am                     F
The needle returns to the start of the song
       G                      F
And we all sing along like before
            C                F         G        C
And they'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

C                                                Am
Verse:        Telephone exchanges click while there's nobody there
     C                                                   Am
The Martians could land in the carpark and no one would care
F                         C
Close-circuit cameras in department stores
           G                F
Shoot the same movie every day
          F                           C
And the stars of these films neither die nor get killed
         G                    F
Just survive constant action replay

 C            F      C                    F
Chorus:        Nothing ever happens,  nothing happens at all
     Am                     F
The needle returns to the start of the song
       G                      F
And we all sing along like before
            C                F         G        C
And they'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

Bridge:        D C

C                                              Am
Verse:        Bill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs
      C
While angry from Mancaster writes to complain about
 Am
All the repeats on TV
    F                   C
And computer terminals report some gains
        G                   F
On the values of copper and tin
        F                    C
While american businessmen snap up Van Goghs
          G                  F
For the price of a hospital wing

 C            F      C                    F
Chorus:        Nothing ever happens,  nothing happens at all
     Am                     F
The needle returns to the start of the song
       G                      F
And we all sing along like before
 C            F      C                    F
Nothing ever happens,  nothing happens at all
     Am                     F
They'll burn down the synagogues at six o'clock
       G                    F
And we all go along like before
            C                F         G        C
And they'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

Notes: This song is very easy to play and to sing.
It seems to be a good stuff to learn to change between the basic chords.
In the last verse the second and the third line seems strange to the metre.
Listen carefully to the song. It will be clear if you heard it.
