Verse
There were no bombs
A#
There were no riots
D#maj7
But I knew
Aadd11
This time's different
D#maj7 D#/D
So I hoarded black tea
Cm7 A#
And cat antibiotics
D#maj7
And I called you:
Aadd11
"Is there anything
D#maj7 D#/D
I could bring home to
Cm7 G# F7
Cheer you up?"
[Verse]
Our street's
A#
Unusually quiet
D#maj7
And the birds too
Aadd11
Desert monuments
D#maj7 D#/D
In the Black Sea
Cm7 A#
And ice caps in the tropics
D#maj7
But it's nothing new
Aadd11
We're all alone next to each other
D#maj7 D#/D Cm7
And we always have been
G#
Hey! Hey...
F7
Hey!!!!
[Instrumental]
A# D#maj7 Aadd11 D#maj7 D#/D Cm7
A# D#maj7 Aadd11 D#maj7 D#/D Cm7 G#
F7
[Verse]
Spring breakers
A#
Drove back from the Baltic
D#maj7
And the national debt grew
Aadd11
And I got some weird advice
D#maj7 D#/D Cm7 A#
From our so - ber alcoholic neighbour
D#maj7
He was wearing my old shoes
Aadd11
And he said, "It's the first warm Saturday
D#maj7 D#/D Cm7
Write to an old friend
G#
Then burn the letter
Fm
That'll kill the virus
N.C.
Then throw your words into the sun."
