  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
          D                   F    G
And I touched her on her sleeve
  C                          Am
She didn't recognize the face at first
  C                            Am
But then her eye flew open wide
  C                             Am
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
            D               F    G
And we laughed until we cried.



Interlude: C-Am-C-Am-
        C-Am-D7/F#-F-G-


  C                                Am
She took her groc'ries to the check-out stand
  C                             Am
The food was totaled up and bagged
  C                              Am
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
            D            F     G
As the conversation dragged
  C                          Am
Went to have ourselves a drink or two
  C                           Am
But couldn't find and open bar
  C                           Am
Bought a six-pack at the liquor store
         D             F   G
And we drank it in her car.


Refrain:
 Am                      F
We drank a toast to innocence
        G              Am
We drank a toast to now
 Am                               F
We tried to reach beyond the emptiness
         G
But neither one knew how.


 C                                           Am
She said she married her an architect
  C                                                   Am
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
  C                               Am
She would've liked to say she loved the man
              D        F        G
But she didn't like to lie.
  C                                         Am
I said the years had been a friend to her
  C                                     Am
And her eyes was still as blue
  C                                       Am
But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I
           D            F     G
Saw a doubt of gratitude.
  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
           D                       F
But the travelling was hell.



Refrain:
Am                      F
We drank a toast to innocence
        G              Am
We drank a toast to now
 Am                               F
We tried to reach beyond the emptiness
         G
But neither one knew how.
  Am                     F
We drank a toast to innocence,
     G              Am
We drank a toast to time.
 Am                   F
Reliving in our eloquence
      G                pause
Another "auld lang syne."


 C                                            Am
The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
  C                                           Am
And running out of things to say
  C                                      Am
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
         D                   F        G
And I watched her drive away
  C                                    Am
Just for a moment I was back in school
  C                                    Am
And felt that old familiar pain
  C                                          Am
And as I turned to make my way back home
                     FM7/G-G
The snow turned into rain.
