[Verse 1]
D             D
Yesterday the sky looked sweet

Em                       Em
when we dropped a big bomb at our feet

    Bb7              A7
and sometime soon we all might zoom

   G7                       F     F#
to space and continue with another zoo
[Verse 2]
D                 D
Work and pace for paper face

Em                     Em
spend it wisely and keep it safe

            Bb7             A7
because the human race is a non-stop race

     G7                  F      F#
with too many trials but no real case
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm                           Bb7
Something about this second something about this hour

A7                           F#
take away the money then the time becomes the power

  Bm                         Bb7
a moment just to swim and to shower and to sing

       A7                         G            A
and to brighten and to dim and to sleep and to wander in
[Chorus]
D       D        Em      Em
Nothing oh sweet nothing

Bb7                  A7
today we're doing nothing at all

D       D        Em         Em
La la la la la whoa oh oh oh ah

Bb7   A7
Ai ai ai-ai-ai-ai
[Verse 3]
D           D
Yesterday I climbed a hill

     Em                     Em
then cycle down speedy on a great big wheel

Bb7          A7
feeling ill laboured still

G7                             F    F#
grinding and stressing in that giant mill
[Verse 4]
D           D
Drove a car stop and start

Em                               Em
round and round in circles never got too far

Bb7                     A7
running barefoot on the hot hot tar

              G7
cause if you stop then you burn

          F       F#
then your feet get scars
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm                             Bb7
Something about this instance something about this minute

A7                                F#
striving for the future but don't realise that we're in it

  Bm                       Bb7
A moment just to float to ponder and to dote

   A7                     G             A
to dry and to soak and to take a little toke of that
[Chorus]
D       D        Em      Em
Nothing oh sweet nothing

Bb7                  A7
today we're doing nothing at all

D       D        Em         Em
La la la la la whoa oh oh oh ah

Bb7   A7
Ai ai ai-ai-ai-ai
