[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][Em][Dm]
[G][C][F]

[Verse 1]
You saw a [G]woman [Em]in a[G] cafe,
[C]lips of crimson, [F]yellow [Dm]grin
[G]Her sho[Em]es were wrong and[G] she loo[F]ked
[Dm]extremely [C]thin[Am][C][Am][C][D][Dm][Em]
[F]Her jewels were fak[Dm]ed, she[F]'d had a [Em]rinse,
her [C]hair was greyish [F]blue[Dm]
[Em]She looked asham[G]ed when she[F]
explained [Dm]to you
[C][Am]

[Verse 2]
[C][D]
[Am]It ain't easy when there's
[Dm]no- one to l[F]ean on
It [Dm]ain't [Am]easy when there's [D]nobody [G]there
[Em]It ain't easy [Am]when your
[Dm]lovers are [F]all gone
Nobody [C]there, [G]nobody cares

[Verse 3]
[F]The pubs were closed she[Dm]'d got[G] now[Em]here
to [G]go [C]when she'd spilled her [F]tea
Have you [Em]never thought [G]"One [F]day that
could [Dm]be me"?
[C][Am][C][Dm][Em]

[Verse 4]
[F]Her temper changed, she loo[G]ked so deranged,
her [C]perfume turned to [F]gin[Dm]
[F]You loo[Em]ked at her[G] and she[F]
began [Dm]to sing
[C][Am]

[Verse 5]
[C][Dm]
[Em]It's all a[Am] load [Dm]of bo[F]llocks
[Am]It's all [C]a loa[D]d of [G]bol[Em]locks
It's [Am]all a l[Dm]oad [F]of bollocks
[C]And [Ab]bollocks to [G]it all

[Interlude 1]
[Em][G][C][Am][C][Am][G][Em][Dm]
[G][C][F][Em][C][F][Dm][F][Em][F][C][Dm]
[C][Am][C][Am]

[Verse 6]
[C]You [D]tell [Em]me you th[G]ink that t[Em]hey sh[G]ould lock her
away and [Em]scrape the make- up [G]off her [F]skin
[G]Then we'd see the [F]warts
[G]around her [C]chin
[C]She [Dm]tried [Em]to k[G]eep her look[F]s but [G]lost her
mind [Em]when [F]she [G]lost her youth and [F]grace
Your [G]words were just an
[F]insult [G]to her face
[C][G]

[Verse 7]
[C]
[D]It ain[Am]'t easy when there's
[Dm]no- one [F]to lean on
It ain't [Am]easy when there's [Dm]nobody [G]the[Em]re
It ain't [Am]easy when your
[Dm]lovers are [F]all gone
[C]And [Ab]bol locks to i[G]t all

[Verse 8]
When I first met [G]you,
I really thought you were a [C]wet dream [Am]come [C]true
[Am]Now I [Em]know that you don't [G]care,
[Em]abou[Dm]t somebody else's nightmare[C]
