[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
 [Instrumental]

[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
