Verse
 
There were no bombs 
              D 
There were no riots 
      Gmaj7 
But I knew 
            Aadd11 
This time's different 
             Gmaj7    G/F# 
So I hoarded black tea 
   Em7      D 
And cat antibiotics 
            Gmaj7 
And I called you: 
          Aadd11 
"Is there anything 
              Gmaj7 G/F# 
I could bring home to 
Em7       C     A7 
Cheer you up?" 
 
Verse
 
Our street's 
          D 
Unusually quiet 
              Gmaj7 
And the birds too 
       Aadd11 
Desert monuments 
       Gmaj7   G/F# 
In the Black Sea 
    Em7             D 
And ice caps in the tropics 
                 Gmaj7 
But it's nothing new 
           Aadd11 
We're all alone next to each other 
                   Gmaj7 G/F# Em7 
And we always have been 
C 
Hey! Hey... 
A7 
Hey!!!!

Verse
 
Spring breakers 
                      D 
Drove back from the Baltic 
                      Gmaj7 
And the national debt grew 
               Aadd11 
And I got some weird advice 
        Gmaj7 G/F# Em7           D 
From our so - ber alcoholic neighbour 
                      Gmaj7 
He was wearing my old shoes 
                                  Aadd11 
And he said, "It's the first warm Saturday 
            Gmaj7 G/F# Em7 
Write to an old friend 
              C 
Then burn the letter 
                 Am 
That'll k*ll the virus 
N.C. 
Then throw your words into the sun."
