Pre-chorus (G major-C^9) But don’t be to quick to give into the gloom, You can still see people over Zoom, hello. Turn off the TV, put down the phone, and tune into imagination of your own. Chorus (A major-G major-E major-G major A major-G major-E major-G major) Where no news is bad news, at least not for me, ‘Cause my news is news that I wanna see. Verse (D major-G major-A major) x 2 You called me up and said you were down, I think we all wear a frown sometimes. Just try to do what you love, you’re not alone, just don’t give up, heave ho.

Chorus (A major-G major-E major-G major A major-G major-E major-G major) Where no news is bad news, at least not for me, ‘Cause my news is news that I wanna see.
