[G] [Em7] [Cadd9] [G/D]
[G] She was a girl from a [D]one horse town,
[C] The only place for m[G]iles ar[D]ound,
[G] Cutting hair in the m[D]odern style,
[C] Putting in the n[G]ine to f[D]ive,
But[C] every night it was the s[G]ame old dream,
[C] On the cover of a m[G]agaz[D]ine,
She[C] looked good but it could n[G]ever come true,
'cos n[Cmaj7]othing ever h[D]appens round h[Em]ere,
N[Cmaj7]othing ever h[D]appens round h[G]ere,
[G] She had a boyfriend [D]in the town,
[C] He spent his days just m[G]essing ar[D]ound,
With[G] stick shifts and st[D]eering wheels,
[C] Motorbikes and [G]automob[D]iles,
And[C] every night it was the s[G]ame old thing,
[C] Meet the boys for a c[G]ouple of dr[D]inks,
[C] Shoot pool and t[G]alk about girls,
And n[Cmaj7]othing ever h[D]appens round h[Em]ere,
N[Cmaj7]othing ever h[D]appens round h[G]ere,
They said n[G]othing, no n[Em7]othing, no n[Cadd9]othing,
N[G/D]othing ever happens round h[G]ere,
N[G]othing, no n[Em7]othing, no n[Cadd9]othing,
N[G/D]othing ever happens round h[G]ere,
[G] One day in a l[D]ocal bar,
[C] She heard a movie man was l[G]ooking for a st[D]ar,
[G] And everybody in the wh[D]ole damn town,
[C] Got the call to c[G]ome on d[D]own,
And[C] when she walked int[G]o the room,
[C] Every heart went b[G]oom boom b[D]oom, who's that g[C]irl?
She's exactly what were l[G]ooking for,
But n[Cmaj7]othing ever h[D]appens round h[Em]ere,
N[Cmaj7]othing ever h[D]appens round h[G]ere,
They said n[G]othing, no n[Em7]othing, no n[Cadd9]othing,
N[G/D]othing ever happens round h[G]ere,
N[G]othing, no n[Em7]othing, no n[Cadd9]othing,
N[G/D]othing ever happens round h[Eb]ere,
[Eb] And so she took a screen test,
[Bb] No doubt that she was the best,
[F] The camera fell in love with h[D]er[D7],
[Eb] Before she knew it she was [Fadd9]on the way to make that dream come tr[G]ue,
[Em7] [Cadd9] [G/D]
[G] [Em7] [Cadd9] [G/D]
[G] Now she's living in h[D]ollywood,
[C] And everything is l[G]ooking g[D]ood,
[G] She thinks about the f[D]olks back home,
[C] And her boyfriend [G]all [D]alone,
But[C] every night it's still the s[G]ame old thing,
[C] Meet the boys for a c[G]ouple of dr[D]inks,
[C] Shoot pool and t[G]alk about girls,
And n[Cmaj7]othing ever h[D]appens round h[Em]ere,
N[Cmaj7]othing ever h[D]appens round h[G]ere,
