Chords

F                   Am
One day I'm loaded, next day I'm broke

Am                    F
Spent all my money on whisky and coke

F                     Am
Riding high 'till the rock hit the spoke

          N.C                      F
It's like window shopping for blinds
Spent all my money on a sunbed tan Spoke the best that a young girl can Ended up with a blind drunk man It's like window shopping for blinds
              F
It's like the heartbreak hotel,

                                   F
with the heartbreak but nowhere to stay

D   
The doors are shut on us,

     G7                     F G7
the neon light fading to grey

         F
They say I drink too much,

                              F
to me, well that's just profound

D                         G7
How do you know you can't swim

                   F
until you have drowned?

             N.F.                   
Well there's always a drop in the bottle lady

         F               Am
Always a sip of the wine

    D                     
The glass doesn't seem quite so empty

     Am7                    F
When window shopping for blinds

           F
It's like gatecrashing a field, that's not true, 

           G7
they've a harvest they yield
Save your tears for your evening meal,
            Am7                 F
when you're window shopping for blinds
One day you're sober, next day you're not One day remembered, the next day forgot Spent all my money on cocaine and pot It's like window shopping for blinds Covered in bruises from head to toe No-one to speak to, and nowhere to go A map of nowhere, and nowhere I know It's like window shopping for blinds It's like the heartbreak hotel, with the heartbreak but nowhere to stay The doors are shut on us, the neon light fading to grey They say I drink too much, to me, well that's just profound How do you know you can't swim, until you have drowned? Well there's always a drop in the bottle lady Always a sip of the wine The glass doesn't seem quite so empty When window shopping for blinds
      F
But what if my husband should come?

                  G7
Well tell me what have you done?
I've cherished your vodka, I've cherished your rum
                          Am7                       F
Don't mind us, we're just licking our wounds in the sun

          F
It's like writing 'I love you' in snow

                               G7
You know when you write it the message will go
I want a message my lover will find
                          Am7     D           F
Don't mind us, we're just window shopping for blinds
