🎸 Verse 1:
FF       G+G      C majorC        FF
You saw a woman in a cafe, lips of crimson, yellow grin
G+G               FF        C majorC  C majorC DmDm E minorEm
 Her shoes were wrong and she looked extremely thin
FF           G+G           C majorC        FF
 Her jewels were faked, she had a rinse, her hair was greyish blue
G+G            FF        C majorC  C majorC DmDm E minorEm
 She looked ashamed when she explained to you

🎸 Chorus:
     A minorAm        D7D7    FF
It ain't easy when there's no one to lean on
     A minorAm        D7D7   EbmEbm E minorEm
It ain't easy when there's nobody there
     A minorAm       D7D7     FF
It ain't easy when your lovers are all gone
F minorFm   C majorC   E minorEm DmDm G+G
Nobody there, nobody cares


🎸 Verse 2:
FF               G+G       C majorC           FF
 The pubs were closed she'd got nowhere to go when she'd spilled her tea
    G+G          FF         C majorC  C majorC DmDm E minorEm
Have you never thought, one day that could be me?
FF               G+G         C majorC         FF
 Her temper changed, she looked so deranged, her perfume turned to gin
G+G           FF      C majorC  C majorC DmDm E minorEm
 You looked at her and she began to sing


🎸 Chorus:
   A minorAm  D7D7   FF
It's all a load of bollocks
   A minorAm  D7D7   EbmEbm E minorEm
It's all a load of bollocks
   A minorAm  D7D7   FF
It's all a load of bollocks
F minorFm  C majorC    E minorEm DmDm G+G
 And bollocks to it all

🎸 Verse 3:
C majorC  DmDm  E minorEm
You tell me
N.C.
You think that they should lock her away and scrape the make-up off her skin
N.C.
Then we'd see the warts around her chin
C majorC  DmDm  E minorEm
She tried to
N.C.
Keep her looks but lost her mind when she lost her youth and grace
N.C.                    C majorC  DmDm  E minorEm
Your words were just an insult to her face


🎸 Chorus:
     A minorAm        D7D7    FF
It ain't easy when there's no one to lean on
     A minorAm        D7D7   EbmEbm E minorEm
It ain't easy when there's nobody there
     A minorAm       D7D7     FF
It ain't easy when your lovers are all gone
F minorFm  C majorC    E minorEm DmDm G+G
 And bollocks to it all


🎸 Outro:
         G+G
When I first saw you
G+G              C majorC     BB  C majorC
 I really thought you were a wet dream come true
             G+G  E minorEm EbmEbm DmDm
Now I know that you don't care
           BB  C majorC
About somebody else's nightmare
