Verse
There were no bombs
C#
There were no riots
F#maj7
But I knew
Aadd11
This time's different
F#maj7 F#/F
So I hoarded black tea
D#m7 C#
And cat antibiotics
F#maj7
And I called you:
Aadd11
"Is there anything
F#maj7 F#/F
I could bring home to
D#m7 B G#7
Cheer you up?"
[Verse]
Our street's
C#
Unusually quiet
F#maj7
And the birds too
Aadd11
Desert monuments
F#maj7 F#/F
In the Black Sea
D#m7 C#
And ice caps in the tropics
F#maj7
But it's nothing new
Aadd11
We're all alone next to each other
F#maj7 F#/F D#m7
And we always have been
B
Hey! Hey...
G#7
Hey!!!!
[Instrumental]
C# F#maj7 Aadd11 F#maj7 F#/F D#m7
C# F#maj7 Aadd11 F#maj7 F#/F D#m7 B
G#7
[Verse]
Spring breakers
C#
Drove back from the Baltic
F#maj7
And the national debt grew
Aadd11
And I got some weird advice
F#maj7 F#/F D#m7 C#
From our so - ber alcoholic neighbour
F#maj7
He was wearing my old shoes
Aadd11
And he said, "It's the first warm Saturday
F#maj7 F#/F D#m7
Write to an old friend
B
Then burn the letter
G#m
That'll kill the virus
N.C.
Then throw your words into the sun."
