Verse
There were no bombs
B
There were no riots
Emaj7
But I knew
Aadd11
This time's different
Emaj7 E/D#
So I hoarded black tea
C#m7 B
And cat antibiotics
Emaj7
And I called you:
Aadd11
"Is there anything
Emaj7 E/D#
I could bring home to
C#m7 A F#7
Cheer you up?"
[Verse]
Our street's
B
Unusually quiet
Emaj7
And the birds too
Aadd11
Desert monuments
Emaj7 E/D#
In the Black Sea
C#m7 B
And ice caps in the tropics
Emaj7
But it's nothing new
Aadd11
We're all alone next to each other
Emaj7 E/D# C#m7
And we always have been
A
Hey! Hey...
F#7
Hey!!!!
[Instrumental]
B Emaj7 Aadd11 Emaj7 E/D# C#m7
B Emaj7 Aadd11 Emaj7 E/D# C#m7 A
F#7
[Verse]
Spring breakers
B
Drove back from the Baltic
Emaj7
And the national debt grew
Aadd11
And I got some weird advice
Emaj7 E/D# C#m7 B
From our so - ber alcoholic neighbour
Emaj7
He was wearing my old shoes
Aadd11
And he said, "It's the first warm Saturday
Emaj7 E/D# C#m7
Write to an old friend
A
Then burn the letter
F#m
That'll kill the virus
N.C.
Then throw your words into the sun."
