D5                   E5
One day I'm loaded, next day I'm broke
E5                    D5
Spent all my money on whisky and coke
D5                     E5
Riding high 'till the rock hit the spoke
          N.C5                      D5
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

              G5
It's like the heartbreak hotel,
                                   D5
with the heartbreak but nowhere to stay
A5   
The doors are shut on us,
     A5                     D5 D5
the neon light fading to grey

         G5
They say I drink too much,
                              D5
to me, well that's just profound
A5                         A5
How do you know you can't swim
                   D5
until you have drowned?

             N.C.                   
Well there's always a drop in the bottle lady
         D5               E5
Always a sip of the wine
    A5                     
The glass doesn't seem quite so empty
     E5                    D5
When window shopping for blinds

           G5
It's like gatecrashing a field, that's not true, 
           A5
they've a harvest they yield
Save your tears for your evening meal,
            E5                 D5
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
      G5
But what if my husband should come?
                  A5
Well tell me what have you done?
I've cherished your vodka, I've cherished your rum
                          E5                       D5
Don't mind us, we're just licking our wounds in the sun

          G5
It's like writing 'I love you' in snow
                               A5
You know when you write it the message will go
I want a message my lover will find
                          E5     A5           D5
Don't mind us, we're just window shopping for blinds
