Chris De Burgh - Nothing Ever Happens Round Here
INTRO:  G   C   G   C  G  
She was a girl from a Done horse town
CThe only place for Gmiles aDroundG  
Cutting hair in the Dmodern style
CPutting in the Gnine to Dfive
But, Cevery night it was the Gsame old drea-Ceam
On the cover of a GmagaDzine
She Clooked good, but it could Gnever come true
'cause Cnothing ever Dhappens round Emhere
CNothing ever Dhappens round Ghere
She had a boyfriend Din the town
CHe spent his days just Gmessing aDroundG  
Stick shifts and Dsteering wheels
CMotorbikes and GautomoDbiles
And, Cevery night it was the Gsame old thi-Cing
Meet the boys for a Gcouple of Ddrinks
CShoot pool and Gtalk about girls
And Cnothing ever Dhappens round Emhere
CNothing ever Dhappens round Ghere
CHORUS:
They said nothing, no nothing, no Cnothing
GNothing ever Dhappens round Ghere
Nothing, no nothing, no Cnothing
GNothing ever Dhappens round Ghere
One day in a Dlocal bar
CShe heard a movie man was Glooking for a DstarG  
And everybody in the Dwhole damn town
CGot the call to Gcome on Ddown
And, Cwhen she walked inGto the roo-Coom
Every heart went Gboom, boom, Dboom, ("Who's that girl?")
C"She's exactly what we're Glooking for!"
But Cnothing ever Dhappens round Emhere
CNothing ever Dhappens round Ghere
CHORUS:
They said nothing, no nothing, no Cnothing
GNothing ever Dhappens round Ghere
Nothing, no nothing, no Cnothing
GNothing ever Dhappens round Ebhere
BRIDGE:
And so she took a screen test
BbNo doubt that she was the best
FThe camera fell in love with Dher
EbBefore she knew it she was Don the way
To make that dream come GtrueC  G  C  G  
Now she's living in DHollywood
CAnd everything is Glooking DgoodG  
She thinks about the Dfolks back home
CAnd her boyfriend Gall aDlone
But, Cevery night it's Gstill the same old thCing
Meet the boys for a Gcouple of Ddrinks
CShoot pool and Gtalk about girls
And Cnothing ever Dhappens round Emhere
CNothing ever Dhappens round Ghere
CHORUS:
They said nothing, no nothing, no Cnothing
GNothing ever Dhappens round Ghere
Nothing, no nothing, no Cnothing
GNothing ever Dhappens round Ghere
Nothing, no nothing, no Cnothing
GNothing ever Dhappens round Ghere
Nothing, no nothing, no Cnothing
GNothing ever Dhappens round Ghere

She looked good, but it could never come true

Nothing ever happens round here

She had a boyfriend in the town

He spent his days just messing around

Stick shifts and steering wheels

Motorbikes and automobiles

C G C

And, every night it was the same old thi-ing

Meet the boys for a couple of drinks

Shoot pool and talk about girls

And nothing ever happens round here

C D G

Nothing ever happens round here

CHORUS:

They said nothing, no nothing, no nothing

G D G

Nothing ever happens round here

Nothing, no nothing, no nothing

Nothing ever happens round here

One day in a local bar

C G D G

She heard a movie man was looking for a star

And everybody in the whole damn town

C G D

Got the call to come on down

C G C

And, when she walked into the roo-oom

G D

Every heart went boom, boom, boom, ("Who's that girl?")

Shoot pool and talk about girls
