Intro ? C (x4)
C BmPost office clerks put up signs saying position closed
C BmAnd secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats
C CJanitors padlock the gates
G BmFor security guards to patrol
C CAnd bachelors phone up their friends for a drink
G CWhile the married ones turn on a chat show
Prechorus
C C CAnd they'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
Verse 2
C BmGentlemen time please you know we can't serve any more
C BmNow the traffic lights stop when theres nothing to go
C CAnd by five o clock everythings dead
G BmAnd every third car is a cab
C CAnd ignorant people sleep in there beds
G BmLike the dope white mice in the college lab
Chorus
C C C CNothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
Bm CThe needle returns to the start of the song
G CAnd we all sing along like before
C C CAnd we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
C BmTelephone exchanges click while theres nobody there
C BmThe martians could land in the car park and no-one would care
C CClose-circuit cameras in department stores
G BmShoot the same movie every night
C CAnd the stars of these films neither died nor get killed
G BmJust to survive constant action replay
Chorus
C C C CNothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
Bm CThe needle returns to the start of the song
G CAnd we all sing along like before
C C CAnd we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow

C BmBill hoardings advertise products that nobody needs
C BmWhile angry from Manchester writes to complain about all the repeats on tv

C CWhile American businessmen snap up van Goths
G BmFor the price of a hospital wing
Chorus
