[Verse 1]
F              G
You saw a woman in a cafe,
C
lips of crimson,
F
yellow grin
G
 Her shoes were wrong and
     F                C    C  Dm  Em
 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

[Verse 2]
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
Fm   C        Em  Dm  G
 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
