[Intro 1]
[Am][C][Am][C][Am]
I [G]met

[Verse 1]
[C]my
old [Am]lover in a grocery store
[C]The snow was [Am]falling Christmas Eve
[G]Stole [C]behind her in [Am]the frozen fruits
And I [D]touched her on the [F]sleeve[G]
[C]She didn't [G]recog[Am]nize the face at [G]first
[C]But then her eye[G]s flew o[Am]pen w[G]ide
[C]Tried to hug[Am] me and she spilled her purse
And we [D]laughed until we cried
[F][G][C][Am][G][C][Am][G]
[C]Two cool [Am]groceries to the
checkout [G]stand,
[C]and food was told [Am]up in bags.
[G]Stood [C]there lost in our embar[Am]rassment
As the con[F#dim]ver satio[D]n dragg[F]ed[G]
[C]Went to have [Am]ourselves a drink or two
[G]But [C]couldn't find a mil[Am]k and bar
[C]Bought a six -pack [Am]at the liquor store
And we [F#dim]drank it [D]in her[F#dim] car[F][G][Am]
We drank a toast to [F]incense,
we [G]drank a toast to [Am]now
Trying to reach for only [F]emptiness,
the [G]need of one new how
[C]She said she'd married
[Am]her an architect,
who [D]kept her woman [Am]safe an[D]d dry[G]
[C]She said she'd like to [Am]say
she loved the man,
but she [F#dim]did n't w[D]ant to lie[F][G]
[C]I said the years had been a f[Am]riend to her,
[C]and that her eyes were sti[Am]ll as blue
[G]But [C]in those eyes I was[Am]n't sure
if I saw [F#dim]doubt or gra[F]titude[G]
[C]She said she saw me in the [Am]record store
[G]An [C]d that I must be doi[Am]ng well
[C]I said the audience was h[Am]eavenly
But the [F#dim]trav eling was hell[F][G]
[Am]We drank a toast to in[F]nocence
We [G]drank a toast to [Am]now
Trying to reach beyond the [F]emptiness
We [G]need a one new [Am]how
We drank a toast to [F]innocence
We [G]drank a toast to [Am]time
We live in an [F]eloquence,
an[G]other rolling sun
[C]The beers were empty
and our [Am]tongues grew tired
[G]An [C]d running out of things to s[Am]ay
[G]She [C]gave a kiss to me as I g[Am]ot out
And I [F#dim]watched h[D]er drive a[F]way[G]
[C]Just for a moment I was [Am]back in [G]school
[C]And felt that unfamiliar [Am]pain[G]
[C]And as I turn to make my [Am]way back home
[G]The [F#dim]snow turned into rain[F][G][F][G][C]
[Dm][G][C][F][C][E][F][G][Bb]
[G][C]
