F G
You saw a woman in a cafe,

lips of crimson,

yellow grin

she looked extremely thin
F G
Her jewels were faked,
she had a rinse,
C F
her hair was greyish blue
G F
She looked ashamed when she
C C Dm Em
explained to you
[Chorus]
Am
It ain\'t easy when
D7 F
there\'s no one to lean on
Am
It ain\'t easy when
D7 Ebm Em
there\'s nobody there
Am
It ain\'t easy when
D7 F
your lovers are all gone
Fm C Em Dm G
Nobody there, nobody cares

F
The pubs were closed she\'d
G C
got nowhere to go when
F
she\'d spilled her tea
G F
Have you never thought, one day
C C Dm Em
that could be me?
F
Her temper changed,
G
she looked so deranged,
C F
her perfume turned to gin
G F
You looked at her and she
C C Dm Em
began to sing
[Chorus]
Am D7 F
It\'s all a load of bollocks
Am D7 Ebm Em
It\'s all a load of bollocks
Am D7 F
It\'s all a load of bollocks

And bollocks to it all

[Verse 3]
C Dm Em
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 Dm Em
She tried to
N.C.
Keep her looks but lost her mind
when she lost her youth and grace
Your words were just an
C Dm Em
insult to her face
[Chorus]
Am D7
It ain\'t easy when there\'s no
F
one to lean on
Am
It ain\'t easy when
D7 Ebm Em
there\'s nobody there
Am
It ain\'t easy when
D7 F
your lovers are all gone
Fm C Em Dm G
And bollocks to it all
[Outro]
G
When I first saw you
G
I really thought you were
C B C
a wet dream come true
G
Now I know that you don\'t care
Em Ebm Dm
B C
About somebody else\'s nightmare
