If you're list'ning to this song,
6  -6  -7  -7  -7  -6  7 
-7  -6
you may think the chords are going wrong,
7  -7  -6,  7  -7  -6  6 
-5  6
but they're not, we just wrote it like that.

When you're list'ning late at night,
6  -6  -7  -7  -7  -6  7 
-7  -6
you may think the band are not quite right,
7  -7  -6,  7  -7  -6  6 
-5  6
but they are, they just play it like that.
6  -6  -6  -6  -6  -6  -6 
-6  -6  -6  -6
It doesn't really matter what chords I play,
-6  -7  -6  6  -7  7  -7 
-6  7  -7
what words I say or time of day it is,
-6  -7  7  7  7  -7  6  -6
as it's only a northern song.

It doesn't really matter what clothes I wear,
-6  -7  -6  6  -7  7  -7 
-6  7  -7
or I fare or if my hair is brown,
-6  -7  7  7  7  -7  6  -6
when it's only a northern song.
6  -6  -7  -7  7  -7  6
If you think the harmony,
6  -6  -7  -7  -7  -6  7 
-7  -6
is a little dark and out of key,
7  -7  -6,  7  -7  -6  6 
-5  6
you're correct, there's nobody there.

And I told you there's no one there
