_ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] Met my old lover [Am] in the grocery [B] store,
[C] _ Snow was falling, [Am] Christmas Eve.
_ [C] I stole behind [Am] her in the frozen foods,
And [D] I [Bm] touched her [F] on the [G] sleeve.
_ [C] She didn't recognize [Am] the face at first,
[C] But then her eyes [Dm] blew open wide.
[C] _ She went to hug [Am] me and she spilled her purse,
And [D] we [Bm] laughed until [F] we cried.

_ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ The good look faced to the jackass,
_ _ Who was totally looking [Em] back.
[C] We stood [G] there lost in our [Am] embarrassment,
As [Bm] the _
[D] [F] conversation dragged.
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ Went to have ourselves a drink or two,
But couldn't find an open _ bar.
_ Bought a six-pack at [Em] the [Am] liquor store,
And we [D] drank it [F] in her [G] car.
_ [Am] _ We drank our [F] drugs to innocence,
[G] We drank our dust [Am] to now.
_ [Em] _ _ [Am] And tried to reach [F] beyond the emptiness,
[G] But neither one knew how.
_ _ [C] She said she married her and I,
_ _ _ Kept her warm and safe and dry.
_ _ Wouldn't like to [Em] say she loved [C] the man,
[F#] But she didn't like [F] the lie.
[G] _ _ [C] _ Said the years had been a [Am] friend to [G] her,
[C] That her eyes were [Dm] still as blue.
_ [G] _ [C] _ In those eyes I [Em] wasn't sure [Am] if I,
[G] [F#] Saw doubt or _ [F] gratitude.
_ [G] _ _ [C] She said she saw me [Am] in the record store,
[G] _ [C] That I must be [D] doing well.
[Em] _ [C] I said the audience [Em] was heavenly,
[Am] [C] But [D] the traveling [F] was hell.
[G] _ _ [Am] We drank [F] our drugs to innocence,
[G] We drank our [Am] dust to now.
[Em] _ _ [Am] _ And tried to reach [F] beyond the emptiness,
[G] But neither one knew how.
_ [Am] _ We drank our [F] drugs to innocence,
[G] We drank our dust to [Am] now.
_ [Em] _ _ [Am] _ We're living in [F] our elements,
_ [G] Another [C] old _ [G] man's _ song. _ _
_ _ [C] _ Beer was empty [Am] and our tongues were [G] tired,
[C] _ Running out [Am] of things to say.
[C] _ She gave a kiss to me [G] as [Am] I got,
And [D] I watched her [Bm] drive [F]
away.
[G] _ _ [C] Just for a moment [Am] I was back in school,
_ _ [G] _ [C] And felt that old [A] familiar pain.
[G] _ [C] _ _ _
_ And as I turned to [Am] make my way back home,
[G] The [D] snow [Bm] turned [C] into _ _ rain.
