Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
One  day I'm loaded, next  day I'm broke
Spent  all my money on whisky  and coke
Riding  high 'till the rock  hit the spoke
 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 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
 It's like gatecrashing  a field, that's not true,
 they've a harvest  they yield
 Save your tears for your evening meal,
 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
 But what  if my husband should come?
 Well tell me what have  you done?
 I've cherished your vodka, I've cherished your rum
 Don't mind us, we're just licking  our wounds in the sun
 It's like writing  'I love you' in snow
 You know when you write it the message  will go
 I want a message my lover will find
 Don't mind us, we're just window  shopping  for blinds
