Window Shopping For Blinds chords by The Beautiful South

Chords with lyrics

D MajorD          E minorEm
One day I'm loaded, next day I'm broke
E minorEm          D MajorD
Spent all my money on whisky and coke
D MajorD           E minorEm
Riding high 'till the rock hit the spoke
     N.C           D MajorD
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+G
It's like the heartbreak hotel,
                  D MajorD
with the heartbreak but nowhere to stay
A augmentedA
The doors are shut on us,
   A7A7           D MajorD D7D7
the neon light fading to grey

     G+G
They say I drink too much,
               D MajorD
to me, well that's just profound
A augmentedA             A7A7
How do you know you can't swim
          D MajorD
until you have drowned?

       N.C.
Well there's always a drop in the bottle lady
     D MajorD        E minorEm
Always a sip of the wine
  A augmentedA
The glass doesn't seem quite so empty
   E minor 7Em7          D MajorD
When window shopping for blinds

      G+G
It's like gatecrashing a field, that's not true,
      A7A7
they've a harvest they yield
Save your tears for your evening meal,
      E minor 7Em7         D MajorD
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 augmentedA 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+G
But what if my husband should come?
         A7A7
Well tell me what have you done?
I've cherished your vodka, I've cherished your rum
             E minor 7Em7            D MajorD
Don't mind us, we're just licking our wounds in the sun

     G+G
It's like writing 'I love you' in snow
                A7A7
You know when you write it the message will go
I want a message my lover will find
             E minor 7Em7   A augmentedA      D MajorD
Don't mind us, we're just window shopping for blinds
