Nothing’s happening by the sea          Chris Rea   Album: Water Sign 1983
        E      A     E
Intro:               
E               A                      E
Salty river,       falls asleep in the bay.
A                                       E
Always gets there, never early, never late.
Am
Nothing’s happening
D                               E
   Nothing’s happening, by the sea.
A
White waves tumbledown
A                          E
And gently roll back into blue.
A
  On wooden seats outside the bar
                              E
The couples make their rendezvous.
Am
  Nothing’s happening
D                              E
  Nothing’s happening, by the sea
                        A      E   A               E     Am   D    E
Lead Break / Bridge:                                               
A
The trouble has been found
                                   E
There’s too far up, and too many downs.
A
  I’ve found a level that feels just right.
                                          E
There’s no mistaking where I’m going to-night
Am                      D                              E
  Nothing’s happening……....Nothing’s happening, by the sea
Am                      D                              E
Nothing’s happening…………....Nothing’s happening, by the sea………To FAde...
