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
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
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?
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
save your tears for your evening meal ,
Em7 D
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
G
but what if my husband should come?
A7
well tell me what have you done?
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
i want a message my lover will find
Em7 A D
don’t mind us , we’re just window shopping for blinds
