(Cx4)Post office clerks put up signs saying "Position (Amx4)Closed"
And (Cx4)secretaries turn off typewriters and put on their (Amx4)coats
And (F∆7x2)janitors padlock the (Cx2)gates
For se(Gadd4x2)curity guards to pa(F∆7x2)trol
And (F∆7x2)bachelors phone up their (Cx2)friends for a drink
While the (Gadd4x2)married ones turn on a (F∆7x4)chat show
And they'll (Cx2)all be lonely to(F∆7x2)night and lonely to(Cx4)morrow

(Cx4)"Gentlemen time please, you know we can't serve any(Amx4)more"
Now the (Cx4)traffic lights change to stop, when there's nothing to (Amx4)go
And by (F∆7x2)five o'clock everything's (Cx2)dead
And (Gadd4x2)every third car is a (F∆7x4)cab
And ignorant people (Cx2)sleep in their beds
Like the (Gadd4x2)doped white mice in the (F∆7x4)college lab

And (Cx2)nothing ever (F∆7x2)happens (Cx2) nothing happens at (F∆7x2)all
The (Amx2)needle returns to the (F∆7x2)start of the song
And we (Gadd4x2)all sing along like be(F∆7x2)fore
And we'll (Cx2)all be lonely to(F∆7x2)night and lonely to(Cx4)morrow

(Cx4)Telephone exchanges click while there's nobody (Amx4)there
The (Cx4)Martians could land in the car park and no one would (Amx4)care
(F∆7x2)Closed-circuit cameras in (Cx2)department stores
Shoot the (Gadd4x2)same movie every (F∆7x4)day
And the stars of these films neither (Cx2)die nor get killed
Just sur(Gadd4x2)vive constant action (F∆7x4)replay
