Intro DO-Am-C-Am-
DO-Am-D7/FA#-F-G-
DO LAm
Met my old lover in a grocery store
DO LAm
The snow was falling Christmas eve
DO LAm
I stole behind her in the frozen foods
RE7/FA# FAM7 SOL
And I touched her on her sleeve
DO LAm
She didn't recognize the face at first
DO LAm
But then her eye flew open wide
DO LAm
She went to hug me and she spilled her purse
RE7 FAM7 SOL
And we laughed until we cried.
Interlude: (Do intro chords)
DO LAm
She took her groc'ries to the check-out stand
DO LAm
The food was totaled up and bagged
DO LAm
We stood there lost in our embarrassment
RE7 FAM7 SOL
As the conversation dragged
DO LAm
Went to have ourselves a drink or two
DO LAm
But couldn't find and open bar
DO LAm
Bought a six-pack at the liquor store
RE7 FAM7 SOL
And we drank it in her car.
Refrain:
LAm FA
We drank a toast to innocence
SOL LAm
We drank a toast to now
LAm FA
We tried to reach beyond the emptiness
SOL
But neither one knew how.
(2nd Verse Chords)
She said she married her an architect
Who kept her warm and safe and dry
She would've liked to say she loved the man
But she didn't like to lie.
I said the years had been a friend to her
And her eyes was still as blue
But in those eyes I wasn't sure if I
Saw a doubt of gratitude.
DO LAm
She said she saw in the record stores
DO LAm
And that I must be doing well
DO LAm
I said the audience was heavenly
RE7 FA
But the travelling was hell.
Refrain:
LAm FA
We drank a toast to innocence
SOL LAm
We drank a toast to now
LAm FA
We tried to reach beyond the emptiness
SOL
But neither one knew how.
LAm FA
We drank a toast to innocence,
SOL LAm
We drank a toast to time.
LAm FA
Reliving in our eloquence
G pause
Another "auld lang syne."
(2nd Verse Chords)
The beer was empty and our tongues were tired
And running out of things to say
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
And I watched her drive away
Just for a moment I was back in school
And felt that old familiar pain
And as I turned to make my way back home
FAM7/SOL-G
The snow turned into rain.
