D (xx0232@1)                 EmOne (022000@1)day I'm loaded, next day I'm broke
Em (022000@1)                  DSpent (xx0232@1)all my money on whisky and coke
D (xx0232@1)                   EmRiding (022000@1)high 'till the rock hit the spoke
          N.C                      DIt's (xx0232@1)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

              GIt's (320003@1)like the heartbreak hotel,
                                   Dwith (xx0232@1)the heartbreak but nowhere to stay
A (x02220@1) 
The doors are shut on us,
     A7 (x02020@1)                   D (xx0232@1)name="chord_xx0212@1">D7
the neon light fading to grey

         GThey (320003@1)say I drink too much,
                              Dto (xx0232@1)me, well that's just profound
A (x02220@1)                       A7How (x02020@1)do you know you can't swim
                   Duntil (xx0232@1)you have drowned?

             N.C.                   
Well there's always a drop in the bottle lady
         D (xx0232@1)             EmAlways (022000@1)a sip of the wine
    A (x02220@1)                   
The glass doesn't seem quite so empty
     Em7                    DWhen (xx0232@1)window shopping for blinds

           GIt's (320003@1)like gatecrashing a field, that's not true, 
           A7they've (x02020@1)a harvest they yield
Save your tears for your evening meal,
            Em7                 Dwhen (xx0232@1)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
      GBut (320003@1)what if my husband should come?
                  A7Well (x02020@1)tell me what have you done?
I've cherished your vodka, I've cherished your rum
                          Em7                       DDon't (xx0232@1)mind us, we're just licking our wounds in the sun

          GIt's (320003@1)like writing 'I love you' in snow
                               A7You (x02020@1)know when you write it the message will go
I want a message my lover will find
                          Em7     A (x02220@1)         DDon't (xx0232@1)mind us, we're just window shopping for blinds
