N.C. N.C. I can think of nowhere I would rather be Reading morning papers Drinking morning tea G She clutches the tray D And then we talk just like a kitchen sink play Bb F Nothing ventured, nothing gained G Living so close to danger D Even your friends are strangers Bb F Don't count upon their company N.C.
