Nothing Ever Happens Lyrics

Nothing Ever Happens - Del Amitri
Post office clerks put up signs saying position closed
And secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their coats
Janitors padlock the gates
For security guards to patrol
And bachelors phone up their friends for a drink
While the married ones turn on a chat show
And they'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
(snip)
Nothing ever happens, nothing happens at all
The needle returns to the start of the song
And we all sing along like before
And we'll all be lonely tonight and lonely tomorrow
Then before verse 4 there's a wee instrumentally bit over the chords:
Also, there's a second guitar with capo on the 5th fret playing:
Verse: C Am C Am F C G F C G F (C F C)
Chorus: C F C F Am F G F C F C
Instr: Dm Am Dm Am D C D C
Hope this is of some use, and not too wrong.

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.
(I have transcribed the song because I missed it on OLGA. I think, it is a very nice song
to sing, when you are sitting on a nice and warm summer evening with some fine people
on the beach, staring at the fire and feel good. Dream on...;))
Have fun and greetings from Germany
