Window Shopping for Blinds The Beautiful South
[D]One day I'm loaded, [Em]next day I'm broke
[Em]Spent all my money on [D]whisky and coke
[D]Riding high 'till the [Em]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
It's like the [G]heartbreak hotel,
with the heartbreak but nowhere to [D]stay
[A]The doors are shut on us,
the n[A7]eon light fading to gre[D]y[D7]
They say [G]I drink too much,
to me, well that's just profou[D]nd
[A]How do you know you can't [A7]swim
until you have drow[D]ned?
N.C.
Well there's always a drop in the bottle lady
Always a [D]sip of the wine[Em]
The [A]glass doesn't seem quite so empty
When [Em7]window shopping for bli[D]nds

It's like g[G]atecrashing a field, that's not true,
they've a h[A7]arvest they yield
Save your tears for your evening meal,
when you're [Em7]window shopping for [D]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
But wh[G]at if my husband should come?
Well tell me what [A7]have you done?
I've cherished your vodka, I've cherished your rum
Don't mind us, we're just [Em7]licking our wounds in the [D]sun
It's like [G]writing 'I love you' in snow
You know when you write it the [A7]message will go
I want a message my lover will find
Don't mind us, we're just [Em7]window s[A]hopping for [D]blinds
