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
