[Intro 1]
[C][Am][C][Am]
[C][Am][D][F][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]Met my old lover in the gro[Am]cery store
[C]The snow was falling Christmas Eve[Am]
[C]I stood behind her in the fro[Am]zen foods
And I [D]touched her on the [F]sleeve[G]
[C]She didn't recognize the fac[Am]e at first
[C]But then her eyes flew open wid[Am]e
[C]She went to hug me
and she [Am]spilled her purse
And we [D]laughed until we [F]cried[G]
[C][Am][C][Am]
[C][Am][D][F][G]

[Verse 2]
[C]We took her groceries
to the [Am]check out stand
[C]The food was totaled up and bag[Am]ged
[C]We stood there lost in our embar[Am]rassment
As the [D]conversation [F]dragged[G]
[C]We went to have ourselves a dri[Am]nk or two
[C]But couldn't find an open bar[Am]
[C]We bought a six-pack at the liq[Am]uor store
And we [D]drank it in her [F]car[G]

[Chorus 1]
[Am]We drank a toast to inno[F]cence
We [G]drank a toast to [Am]now
We tried to reach beyond the [F]emptiness
But [G]neither one knew how

[Verse 3]
[C]She said she's married her an arc[Am]hitect
[C]Who kept her warm and safe and dry[Am]
[C]She would have liked to say
she [Am]loved the man
But she [D]didn't like to [F]lie[G]
[C]I said the years had been a fri[Am]end to her
[C]And that her eyes were still as blu[Am]e
[C]But in those eyes I wasn't sur[Am]e if I saw
[D]Doubt or grati[F]tude[G]
[C]She said she saw me in the rec[Am]ord stores
[C]And that I must be doing wel[Am]l
[C]I said the audience was hea[Am]venly
But the [D]traveling was [F]Hell[G]

[Chorus 2]
[Am]We drank a toast to inno[F]cence
We [G]drank a toast to [Am]now
We tried to reach beyond the [F]emptiness
But [G]neither one knew how

[Chorus 3]
[Am]We drank a toast to inno[F]cence
We [G]drank a toast to [Am]time
Reliving, in our [F]eloquence
An[G]other "Auld Lang Syne"

[Verse 4]
[C]The beer was empty and
our [Am]tongues were tired
[C]And running out of things to say[Am]
[C]She gave a kiss to me as I g[Am]ot out
And I [D]watched her drive a[F]way[G]
[C]Just for a moment I was bac[Am]k at school
[C]And felt that old familiar pai[Am]n
[C]And, as I turned to make my way[Am] back home
The [D]snow turned into [F]rain[G]
[F][F]
[C][Dm][G]
[C][Am][F][G]
