Verse
There were no bombs
F#
There were no riots
Bmaj7
But I knew
Aadd11
This time's different
Bmaj7 B/A#
So I hoarded black tea
G#m7 F#
And cat antibiotics
Bmaj7
And I called you:
Aadd11
"Is there anything
Bmaj7 B/A#
I could bring home to
G#m7 E C#7
Cheer you up?"
[Verse]
Our street's
F#
Unusually quiet
Bmaj7
And the birds too
Aadd11
Desert monuments
Bmaj7 B/A#
In the Black Sea
G#m7 F#
And ice caps in the tropics
Bmaj7
But it's nothing new
Aadd11
We're all alone next to each other
Bmaj7 B/A# G#m7
And we always have been
E
Hey! Hey...
C#7
Hey!!!!
[Instrumental]
F# Bmaj7 Aadd11 Bmaj7 B/A# G#m7
F# Bmaj7 Aadd11 Bmaj7 B/A# G#m7 E
C#7
[Verse]
Spring breakers
F#
Drove back from the Baltic
Bmaj7
And the national debt grew
Aadd11
And I got some weird advice
Bmaj7 B/A# G#m7 F#
From our so - ber alcoholic neighbour
Bmaj7
He was wearing my old shoes
Aadd11
And he said, "It's the first warm Saturday
Bmaj7 B/A# G#m7
Write to an old friend
E
Then burn the letter
C#m
That'll kill the virus
N.C.
Then throw your words into the sun."
