Intro: C-Am-C-Am-
C-Am-D7/F#-F-G-
MeCt my old lover in a groceAmry store
ThCe snow was falling Christmas eve Am
I Cstole behind her in the frozeAmn foods
And I toucD7/F#hed her on her sleevFM7e G
ShCe didn't recognize the faceAm at first
BuCt then her eye flew open wideAm
ShCe went to hug me and she spillAmed her purse
And we laughD7ed until we crieFM7d. G
Interlude: (Do intro chords)
ShCe took her groc'ries to the checkAm-out stand
ThCe food was totaled up and baggAmed
WeC stood there lost in our embarrAmassment
As the conveD7rsation draggFM7ed G
WeCnt to have ourselves a drinAmk or two
BuCt couldn't find and open barAm
BoCught a six-pack at the liquoAmr store
And we drD7ank it in her FM7car.G
Refrain:
WAme drank a toast to innocFence
We drankG a toast to nowAm
WAme tried to reach beyond the emptiFness
But neithGer 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.
ShCe said she saw in the recoAmrd stores
AnCd that I must be doinAmg well
I Csaid the audience was heavAmenly
But the traD7velling was Fhell.
Refrain:
AmWe drank a toast to innoFcence
We drankG a toast to nowAm
WAme tried to reach beyond the emptiFness
But neithGer one knew how.
WeAm drank a toast to innocFence,
We drGank a toast to Amtime.
RAmeliving in our eloqueFnce
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
FM7/G-G
The snow turned into rain.
