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