C                                                         G
Same old boring Sunday morning, old man's out washing the car
C                       
Mum's in the kitchen cooking Sunday dinner 
                                G
Her best meal, moaning while it lasts
    A        C               D
And Johnny's upstairs in his bedroom sitting in the dark
A            C                   D
Annoying the neighbours with his punk rock electric guitar

 
            G
This is the sound...
            B            A
This is the sound of the suburbs
            G
This is the sound...
            B            A       C  E  D
This is the sound of the suburbs
 
C                                                             G
Every lousy Monday morning Heathrow jets go crashing over our home
C                                                             G
Ten o'clock, Broadmoor siren driving me mad - won't leave me alone
A         C              D    
The woman next door just sits and stares outside
A          C                  D     
She hasn't come out once ever since her husband died

 
 [Chorus]

G                        B             G               D
Youth Club Group used to wanna be free - now they want anarchy!
G                        B                G                 D
They play too fast, they play out of tune - practice in the singer's bedroom
C                                          B                A
Drums quite good, the bass is too loud and I can't hear the words

 
 [Chorus]

 [Additional lyrics from album version]

Saturday morning family shoppers crowding out the center of town
Young blokes sitting on the benches shouting at the young girls walking around
And Johnny stands there at his window looking at the night
I said, "Hey, what you listening to, there's nothing there?"
That's right!
