When she awoke this morning G Em
Who’d have thought she’d be dead by the evening. C D C
She’d never sleep in her bed again G Bm
Kiss her lover, nor see her friends. Em C D
No chance to say goodbye, G Bm
No-one she knew saw her go. Em C
What were her last thoughts? G Bm
We’ll never know. C D G

VERSE1
She didn’t look right C
She didn’t look left D G
She didn’t look right C
She flew through the air. G D
She stepped off the pavement C D
Now lies on the tarmac G D
Surrounded by strangers C D
One’s holding her hand. D G
As her life slips away C D
At the end of the day G D
As her life slips away C
I heard someone say … D

VERSE 2
What do you have in your carrier bag?
Did you buy something to try on at home?
Now that Marks & Spencers have lost your custom
This is one garment which won't be returned.
As your shoppin list blows down the High St.
Someone, not me, wonders why.
As your shopping list blows down the High St.
Someone, not me, starts to cry.

REFRAIN

VERSE 3
You look like you're sleeping
What would you be dreaming?
Would this be your nightmare
To die like this?
Oh I wish you'd stand up & brush yourself down
Make your way through the crowd & carry on shopping.
I'd buy you a tea to steady your nerves
I'd buy you a tea, but I'd need something stronger
'Cos the driver had no chance to swerve C D G
The driver had no time to swerve C D G
You gave me no chance to swerve. C D
