C Am Met my old lover in a grocery store C Am The snow was falling Christmas Eve C Am I stole behind her in the frozen foods D7 FM7 G And I touched her on her sleeve.
[Verse 2]
C Am She didn't recognize the face at first C Am But then her eyes flew open wide C Am She went to hug me and she spilled her purse D7 FM7 G And we laughed until we cried.
[Interlude] (Same fingerstyle as Intro)

[Verse 3]
C Am We took her groceries to the checkout stand C Am The food was totaled up and bagged C Am We stood there lost in our embarrassment D7 FM7 G As the conversation dragged.
[Verse 4]
C Am Went to have ourselves a drink or two C Am But couldn't find and open bar C Am We bought a six-pack at the liquor store D7 FM7 G And we drank it in her car.
[Chorus]
Am F We drank a toast to innocence G Am [Lick] We drank a toast to now Am F Tried to reach beyond the emptiness G Am G But neither one knew how.
[Verse 5]
C Am She said she'd married her an architect C Am Who kept her warm and safe and dry C Am She would have liked to say she loved the man D7 F G But she didn't want to lie.
[Verse 6]
C Am I said the years had been a friend to her C Am And that her eyes were still as blue C Am But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I D7 FM7 G Saw doubt or grati-tude.
[Verse 7]
C Am She said she saw me in the record stores C Am And that I must be doing well C Am I said the audience was heavenly D7 FM7 G But the travelling was hell.
[Chorus]
Am F We drank a toast to innocence G Am [Lick] We drank a toast to now Am F Tried to reach beyond the emptiness G Am G But neither one knew how.
[Chorus]
Am F We drank a toast to innocence G Am [Lick] We drank a toast to time Am F Reliving in our eloquence G Am G An-other "auld lang syne".
[Verse 8]
C Am The beer was empty and our tongues were tired C Am And running out of things to say C Am C* Am* She gave a kiss to me as I got out D7 FM7 G And I watched her drive away.
[Verse 9]
C Am Just for a moment I was back at school C Am And felt that old familiar pain C Am C* Am* And as I turned to make my way back home D7 FM7/G F G The snow turned into rain.
