[Db]Met my old lover in the [D#]grocery store [Db]the snow was falling Christmas [D#]Eve
[Db]I stole behind her in the [D#]frozen foods And I [A7]touched her on the [D7]sleeve
[Db]She didn't recognize the [D#]face at first [Db]But then her eyes flew open [D#]wide
[Db]She went to hug me, and she [D#]spilled her purse and we [A7]laughed until we [D7]cried

[Db]We took her groceries to the [D#]checkout stand [Db]the food was totaled up and [D#]bagged
[Db]We stood there lost in our em[D#]barrassment as the [A7]conversation [D7]dragge
[Db]Went to have ourselves a [D#]drink or two [Db]But couldn't find an open [D#]bar
[Db]We bought a six-pack at the [D#]liquor store and we [A7]drank it in her [D7]car

[D#]We drank a toast to [A#]innocence we [Cb]drank a toast to [D#]now
[D#]And tried to reach beyond the [A#]emptiness but [Cb]neither one knew [D#]how

[Db]She said she'd married her an [D#]architect [Db]Who kept her warm and safe and [D#]dry
[Db]She would've liked to say she [D#]loved the man but she [A7]didn't like to [D7]lie
[Db]I said the years had been a [D#]friend to her [Db]and that her eyes were still as [D#]blue
[Db]But in those eyes, I wasn't [D#]sure if I saw [A7]doubt or grati[D7]tude

[Db]She said she saw me in the [D#]record stores [Db]And that I must be doing [D#]well
[Db]I said the audience was [D#]heavenly But the [A7]traveling was [D7]hell

[D#]We drank a toast to [A#]innocence we [Cb]drank a toast to [D#]now
[D#]And tried to reach beyond the [A#]emptiness but [Cb]neither one knew [D#]how
[D#]We drank a toast to [A#]innocence we [Cb]drank a toast to [D#]now
[D#]And tried to reach beyond the [A#]emptiness but [Cb]neither one knew [D#]how

Should [Db]auld acquaintance [Cb]be forgot and [Db]never brought to [A#]mind
Should [Db]auld acquaintance [F#m7b5]be for[B7]got and [D#]days of [Cb]auld lang [A#]syne [Db]⠀
