G D
She was a girl from a one horse town,
C G D
The only place for miles around,
G D
Cutting hair in the modern style,
C G D
Putting in the nine to five,
C G
But every night it was the same old dream,
C G D
On the cover of a magazine,
C G
She looked good but it could never come true,
Cmaj7 D Em
'cos nothing ever happens round here,
Cmaj7 D G
Nothing ever happens round here,
G D
She had a boyfriend in the town,
C G D
He spent his days just messing around,
G D
With stick shifts and steering wheels,
C G D
Motorbikes and automobiles,
C G
And every night it was the same old thing,
C G D
Meet the boys for a couple of drinks,
C G
Shoot pool and talk about girls,
Cmaj7 D Em
And nothing ever happens round here,
Cmaj7 D G
Nothing ever happens round here,
G Em7 Cadd9
They said nothing, no nothing, no nothing,
G/D G
Nothing ever happens round here,
G Em7 Cadd9
Nothing, no nothing, no nothing,
G/D G
Nothing ever happens round here,
G D
One day in a local bar,
C G D
She heard a movie man was looking for a star,
G D
And everybody in the whole damn town,
C G D
Got the call to come on down,
C G
And when she walked into the room,
C G D C
Every heart went boom boom boom, who's that girl?
G
She's exactly what were looking for,
Cmaj7 D Em
But nothing ever happens round here,
Cmaj7 D G
Nothing ever happens round here,
G Em7 Cadd9
They said nothing, no nothing, no nothing,
G/D G
Nothing ever happens round here,
G Em7 Cadd9
Nothing, no nothing, no nothing,
G/D Eb
Nothing ever happens round here,
Eb
And so she took a screen test,
Bb
No doubt that she was the best,
F D D7
The camera fell in love with her,
Eb Fadd9 G
Before she knew it she was on the way to make that dream come true,
Em7 Cadd9 G/D
G Em7 Cadd9 G/D
G D
Now she's living in hollywood,
C G D
And everything is looking good,
G D
She thinks about the folks back home,
C G D
And her boyfriend all alone,
C G
But every night it's still the same old thing,
C G D
Meet the boys for a couple of drinks,
C G
Shoot pool and talk about girls,
Cmaj7 D Em
And nothing ever happens round here,
Cmaj7 D G
Nothing ever happens round here,
G Em7 Cadd9
They said nothing, no nothing, no nothing,
G/D G
Nothing ever happens round here,
G Em7 Cadd9
Nothing, no nothing, no nothing,
G/D G
Nothing ever happens round here,
G Em7 Cadd9
Nothing, no nothing, no nothing,
G/D G
Nothing ever happens round here,
G Em7 Cadd9
Nothing, no nothing, no nothing,
G/D G
Nothing ever happens round here.
