Verse
There were no bombs
E
There were no riots
Amaj7
But I knew
Aadd11
This time's different
Amaj7 A/G#
So I hoarded black tea
F#m7 E
And cat antibiotics
Amaj7
And I called you:
Aadd11
"Is there anything
Amaj7 A/G#
I could bring home to
F#m7 D B7
Cheer you up?"
[Verse]
Our street's
E
Unusually quiet
Amaj7
And the birds too
Aadd11
Desert monuments
Amaj7 A/G#
In the Black Sea
F#m7 E
And ice caps in the tropics
Amaj7
But it's nothing new
Aadd11
We're all alone next to each other
Amaj7 A/G# F#m7
And we always have been
D
Hey! Hey...
B7
Hey!!!!
[Instrumental]
E Amaj7 Aadd11 Amaj7 A/G# F#m7

B7
[Verse]
Spring breakers
E
Drove back from the Baltic
Amaj7
And the national debt grew
Aadd11
And I got some weird advice
Amaj7 A/G# F#m7 E
From our so - ber alcoholic neighbour
Amaj7
He was wearing my old shoes
Aadd11
And he said, "It's the first warm Saturday
Amaj7 A/G# F#m7
Write to an old friend
D
Then burn the letter
Bm
That'll kill the virus
N.C.
Then throw your words into the sun."
