Precarious The Supermarket Song chords by Martha

• Tuning: EADGBE

Intro:
A C#m D (x2)

Verse 1:
A
I was hanging out by the freezers
C#m                    D
When I saw you sitting there
A
Getting bollocked by your supervisor
C#m                    D
But you didn’t seem to care
A
And when it came time to check-out
C#m                 D
You stood beside my till
A

I said “retail is the pits”
C#m                             D
And then I scanned your anxiety pills

Chorus:
A
I’m gonna finish what I started
C#m                 D
I’m gonna go to the supermarket
A
Straightening my tie, plucking up the might
C#m               D
To ask you out on Saturday night

Verse 2:
A
Walking you down the aisle
C#m                 D
We took some cheap enjoyment
A
Lamenting neoliberal
C#m        D
Precarious employment
A
But this flutter in my chest
C#m              D
Keeps on getting scarier
A
I’m an unexpected item
C#m           D
In your bagging area

Chorus:
A
I’m gonna finish what I started
C#m                 D
I’m gonna go to the supermarket
A
Straightening my tie, plucking up the might
C#m               D
To ask you out on Saturday night
A      F#m
Oh oh, when you gonna, when you gonna,
E      D
Oh oh, when you gonna get off work?
A      F#m
Oh oh, when you gonna, when you gonna,
E      D
Oh oh, when you gonna get off work?

Bridge:
Bm                              F#m
If there’s something you’re too shy to say
A                        E
We can go somewhere more private
C#m                             F#m
If you’re scared of what might happen
D                        E
You won’t know until you try it
Bm            F#m
I’m a person, you’re a person
A                E
Nothing else is really certain
C#m                       F#m
And the night is still so young
D                         E
Let’s get out of here and have some fun

Chorus:
A
I’m gonna finish what I started
C#m                 D
I’m gonna go to the supermarket
A
Straightening my tie, plucking up the might
C#m               D
To ask you out on Saturday night
A      F#m
Oh oh, when you gonna, when you gonna,
E      D
Oh oh, when you gonna get off work?
A      F#m
Oh oh, when you gonna, when you gonna,
E      D
Oh oh, when you gonna get off work?

Outro:
A C#m D (x2)
