 MeCt my old lover in a groceAmry store

Interlude

 ShCe took her groc'ries to the checkAm-out stand

 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

 The snow turned into Fm7rainG. G
