This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Verse

A C# F#

Through the automatic doors, my shopping cart ran into hers

E

Our eyes met for a second then she turned away

A C# F#

After just a little while went into the canned goods aisle

E

And she was just standing there smiling

Chorus

D A

I was hoping she'd look at me

D A D

But she was checking out the lima beans

A E

And artichokes, my heart was broke in pieces

By my supermarket fantasy

Verse

Didn't want to seem obsessed, I checked Farina off my list

But I couldn't keep my mind off those perfect lips

Saw her start to walk my way, thought everything would be okay

And then I ran into the Cocoa Puffs display

Chorus

Hurried to the checkout line

Wishing I could push back time

I looked around and she was right behind me

Verse

Wanna clip your coupons, girl, wanna squeeze your Charmin, too

I wanna be your grocery bagger forever

We'll go shopping every night up and down the empty aisles

And I'll always make sure your melons are ripe

Chorus

But I can't get up the nerve

I could have the best buys in the world

But I'll never share a shopping cart with her

My supermarket fantasy
