Verse
There were no bombs
D#
There were no riots
G#maj7
But I knew
Aadd11
This time's different
G#maj7 G#/G
So I hoarded black tea
Fm7 D#
And cat antibiotics
G#maj7
And I called you:
Aadd11
"Is there anything
G#maj7 G#/G
I could bring home to
Fm7 C# A#7
Cheer you up?"
[Verse]
Our street's
D#
Unusually quiet
G#maj7
And the birds too
Aadd11
Desert monuments
G#maj7 G#/G
In the Black Sea
Fm7 D#
And ice caps in the tropics
G#maj7
But it's nothing new
Aadd11
We're all alone next to each other
G#maj7 G#/G Fm7
And we always have been
C#
Hey! Hey...
A#7
Hey!!!!
[Instrumental]

A#7
[Verse]
Spring breakers
D#
Drove back from the Baltic
G#maj7
And the national debt grew
Aadd11
And I got some weird advice
G#maj7 G#/G Fm7 D#
From our so - ber alcoholic neighbour
G#maj7
He was wearing my old shoes
Aadd11
And he said, "It's the first warm Saturday
G#maj7 G#/G Fm7
Write to an old friend
C#
Then burn the letter
A#m
That'll kill the virus
N.C.
Then throw your words into the sun."
