Tom: D
D Em
One day I'm loaded, next day I'm broke
Em D
Spent all my money on whisky and coke
D Em
Riding high 'till the rock hit the spoke
N.C D
It's like window shopping for blinds
D Em
Spent all my money on a sunbed tan
Em D
Spoke the best that a young girl can
D Em
Ended up with a blind drunk man
N.C. D
It's like window shopping for blinds
[Bridge]
G
It's like the heartbreak hotel,
D
with the heartbreak but nowhere to stay
A
The doors are shut on us,
A7 D D7
the neon light fading to grey
G
They say I drink too much,
D
to me, well that's just profound
A A7
How do you know you can't swim
D
until you have drowned?
[Chorus]
N.C.
Well there's always a drop in the bottle lady
D Em
Always a sip of the wine
A
The glass doesn't seem quite so empty
Em7 D
When window shopping for blinds
G
It's like gatecrashing a field, that's not true,
A7
they've a harvest they yield
A7
Save your tears for your evening meal,
Em7 D
when you're window shopping for blinds
[Verse]
D Em
One day you're sober, next day you're not
Em D
One day remembered, the next day forgot
D Em
Spent all my money on cocaine and pot
N.C. D
It's like window shopping for blinds
D Em
Covered in bruises from head to toe
Em D
No-one to speak to, and nowhere to go
D Em
A map of nowhere, and nowhere I know
N.C. D
It's like window shopping for blinds
[Bridge]
G
It's like the heartbreak hotel,
D
with the heartbreak but nowhere to stay
A
The doors are shut on us,
A7 D D7
the neon light fading to grey
G
They say I drink too much,
D
to me, well that's just profound
A A7
How do you know you can't swim
D
until you have drowned?
[Chorus]
N.C.
Well there's always a drop in the bottle lady
D Em
Always a sip of the wine
A
The glass doesn't seem quite so empty
Em7 D
When window shopping for blinds
G
But what if my husband should come?
A7
Well tell me what have you done?
A7
I've cherished your vodka, I've cherished your rum
Em7 D
Don't mind us, we're just licking our wounds in the sun
G
It's like writing 'I love you' in snow
A7
You know when you write it the message will go
A7
I want a message my lover will find
Em7 A D
Don't mind us, we're just window shopping for blinds
