[Intro]
G Am7 D7 G Am7 D7
[Verse 1]
G
What's the sense in being here?
Am7
Living out your days in loneliness and fear
D7
Tell me, is it clever?
G
Old lovers in a supermarket
Am7
Who knows where or when they started off
D7
It could have been forever
C D7
As he tends to say he loves her
G C
She can see that he's unsteady on his feet
Am7 D7
She helps him with the basket
G C N.C.
As he reaches for a pack of processed meat
D7
Then she grabs an eclair
G
Of which they'll later share
D7
But before the moment's through
G Am7 D7
She smiles, I love you too
[Verse 2]
G
Whilst browsing through the frozen food again
Am7
I see them and it lifts my mood
D7
He's on the wind-up
G
Moaning they've been there for weeks
Am7
She mulls over multi-packs of leeks
D7
She can't make her mind up
C D7
And then she breaks out laughing
G C
As he picks one up and uses it to dance
Am7 D7
Throws it in the basket
G C
And she asks if he's got something in his pants
Am7 D7
Then the old man makes a glance
G
Steadies up his stance
D7
Cries God, I love you
Bm
And she laughs, I love you too
[Bridge]
Bm Bm
Too many people living selfishly alone
C D7
Build a fire with someone who can spark it
Em Bm
Cause when you're 83 and money can't buy family
C D7 G
Me, I'd rather be just like the lovers in the supermarket
[Interlude]
Am7 D7 G Am7 D7
[Outro]
C D7
And as I'm in the car park
G C
I can see the raindrops bouncing off the road
Am7 D
And now that heavy basket
G C
It's in a shopping bag but still they share the load
Am7 D7
She said, I should have brought me trolley
G
Cause in there was me brolly
D7
Then a lump filled up my throat
G
When he made her wear his coat
