A
If you're listening to this song
                                    Bm
You may think the chords are going wrong
                                        A
But they're not he just wrote it like that.

When you're listening late at night
You may think the band are not quite right
But they are, they just play it like that

Chorus:
        E              Bm           G       C#
And it doesn't really matter what chords I play
     F#
What words I say
    Bm            F#
Or time of day it is
        D       A        E
As it's only a Northern song

If you think the harmony
Is a little dark and out of key
You're correct, there's nobody there.

And I told you there's no one there.
