Verse
There were no bombs
C
There were no riots
Fmaj7
But I knew
Aadd11
This time's different
Fmaj7 F/E
So I hoarded black tea
Dm7 C
And cat antibiotics
Fmaj7
And I called you:
Aadd11
"Is there anything
Fmaj7 F/E
I could bring home to
Dm7 A# G7
Cheer you up?"
[Verse]
Our street's
C
Unusually quiet
Fmaj7
And the birds too
Aadd11
Desert monuments
Fmaj7 F/E
In the Black Sea
Dm7 C
And ice caps in the tropics
Fmaj7
But it's nothing new
Aadd11
We're all alone next to each other
Fmaj7 F/E Dm7
And we always have been
A#
Hey! Hey...
G7
Hey!!!!
[Instrumental]
C Fmaj7 Aadd11 Fmaj7 F/E Dm7
C Fmaj7 Aadd11 Fmaj7 F/E Dm7 A#
G7
[Verse]
Spring breakers
C
Drove back from the Baltic
Fmaj7
And the national debt grew
Aadd11
And I got some weird advice
Fmaj7 F/E Dm7 C
From our so - ber alcoholic neighbour
Fmaj7
He was wearing my old shoes
Aadd11
And he said, "It's the first warm Saturday
Fmaj7 F/E Dm7
Write to an old friend
A#
Then burn the letter
Gm
That'll kill the virus
N.C.
Then throw your words into the sun."
