[Verse 1] (you can continue the fingerstyle throughout the whole song, but chords work as well)
CMet my old lover in a Amgrocery store
CThe snow was falling Christmas AmEve
CI stole behind her in the Amfrozen foods
And I D7touched her on her FM7sleeve.G

CBut then her eyes flew open Amwide
CShe went to hug me and she Amspilled her purse
And we D7laughed until we FM7cried.G

[Verse 3]
CWe took her groceries to the Amcheckout stand
CThe food was totaled up and Ambagged
CWe stood there lost in our emAmbarrassment
As the D7conversation FM7dragged.G  
[Verse 4]
CWent to have ourselves a Amdrink or two
CBut couldn't find and open Ambar
CWe bought a six-pack at the Amliquor store
And we D7drank it in her FM7car.G  
[Chorus]
AmWe drank a toast to Finnocence
G   Am[Lick]
We drank a toast to now
AmTried to reach beyond the Femptiness
But Gneither one knew Amhow.G  
[Verse 5]
CShe said she'd married her an Amarchitect
CWho kept her warm and safe and Amdry
CShe would have liked to say she Amloved the man
But she D7didn't want to Flie.G  
[Verse 6]
CI said the years had been a Amfriend to her
CAnd that her eyes were still as Amblue
CBut in those eyes I wasn't Amsure if I
Saw D7doubt or grati-FM7tude.G

CShe said she saw me in the Amrecord stores
CAnd that I must be doing Amwell
CI said the audience was Amheavenly
But the D7travelling was FM7hell.G

We drank a toast to time
AmReliving in our Feloquence
An-Gother "auld Amlang sGyne".
[Verse 8]
CThe beer was empty and our Amtongues were tired
CAnd running out of things to Amsay
C   Am  C* Am*
She gave a kiss to me as I got out
And I D7watched her drive FM7away.G  
[Verse 9]
CJust for a moment I was Amback at school
CAnd felt that old familiar Ampain
C   Am  C* Am*
And as I turned to make my way back home
The D7snow turned FM7/Ginto Frain.G
