[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
