Verse 1
(C major) Post office clerks put up signs
saying "position closed" (A minor)
And (C major) secretaries turn off typewriters
and put on their (A minor) coats
And (F major) janitors padlock the (C major) gates
for security (G major) guards to patrol (F major)
And bachelors phone up their (C major) friends
for a drink
While the (G major) married ones turn on a (F major) chat show
And they'll all (C major) be lonely tonight (F major)
and lonely tomorrow (C major)

Verse 2
(C major) Gentlemen, time please,
you know we can't serve any (A minor) more
Now the (C major) traffic lights change to stop,
when there's nothing to go (A minor)
And by (F major) five o'clock everything's (C major) dead
And (G major) every third car is a cab (F major)
And ignorant people (C major) sleep in their beds
Like the (G major) doped white mice in the (F major) college lab
Chorus 1
And (C major) nothing ever (F major) happens,
(C major) nothing happens at all (F major)
The (A minor) needle returns to the (F major) start of the song
And we all (G major) sing along like be (F major) fore
And we'll all (C major) be lonely tonight (F major)
and lonely tomorrow (C major)
Verse 3
(C major) Telephone exchanges click
while there's nobody (A minor) there
The (C major) Martians could land in the car park
and no one would (A minor) care
(F major) Close-circuit cameras in (C major) department stores
shoot the (G major) same movie every day (F major)
And the stars of these films neither die (C major)
nor get killed
Just survive (G major) constant action re (F major) play
Chorus 2
And (C major) nothing ever (F major) happens,
(C major) nothing happens at all (F major)
The (A minor) needle returns to the (F major) start of the song
And we all (G major) sing along like be (F major) fore
And we'll all (C major) be lonely tonight (F major)
and lonely tomorrow (C major)

Verse 4
And (C major) bill hoardings advertise products
that nobody (A minor) needs
While (C major) "Angry from Manchester"
writes to complain about
All (A minor) the repeats on T.V.
And (F major) computer terminals (C major) report some gains
In the (G major) values of copper and (F major) tin
While American businessmen
(C major) snap up Van Goghs
For the (G major) price of a hospital (F major) wing
Chorus 3
And (C major) nothing ever (F major) happens,
(C major) nothing happens at all (F major)
The (A minor) needle returns to the (F major) start of the song
And we all (G major) sing along like be (F major) fore
Chorus 4
And (C major) nothing ever (F major) happens,
(C major) nothing happens at all (F major)
They'll (A minor) burn down the synagogues
(F major) at six o'clock
And we'll all (G major) go along like be (F major) fore
And we'll all (C major) be lonely tonight (F major)
and lonely to (C major) morrow
