C 
Well,
F 
G 
C 
I almost didn't know him,
F 
G 
Am 
I nearly passed him by
F 
C 
It took us both a moment
Dm 
to get over our surprise
G 
Am 
F 
And we hugged each other clumsily
C 
G 
and laughed a bit too long
Am 
As the shoppers on South
F 
C 
End Street hurried on
F 
G 
C 
I said I'd heard that he was married
F 
G 
and living overseas
Am 
F 
He said he'd seen my posters
C 
Dm 
on a billboard near his street
G 
Am 
F 
and he'd heard about what happened
C 
G 
and we both just looked away and
Am 
F 
headed from Southend Street
C 
to McDade's where
F 
we drank to ancient love
G 
Am 
for hours on end
raised our glasses
F 
C 
D 
to remember absent friends
G 
Am 
F 
And we drank to chance encounters,
C 
too long overdue
G 
Am 
On South End Street on
F 
a Tuesday afternoon
C

F 
G 
C 
Then it felt just like it used to,
F 
G 
like we'd never been apart
Am 
F 
C 
Like back when we were students
Dm 
on a bench in College Park
G 
Am 
F 
And I felt something deep inside of me,
C 
I really can't explain
G 
Am 
F 
In a pub beside Southend Street
C 
in the rain
F 
And we drank to ancient love
G 
Am 
for hours on en  d
F 
We raised our glasses
C 
D 
to remember absent friends
G 
Am 
F 
And we drank to chance encounters
C 
F 
too long overdue
G 
Am 
On Southend Street
F 
on a Tuesday afternoon
C 
F 
G 
C 
We embraced before we parted
F 
G 
to walk into the night
Am 
F 
With the complicated sadness
C 
Dm 
of this complicated life
G 
Am 
F 
Oh, ships passing in the night,
C 
occasionally meet
G 
Am 
F 
At the corner of South Anne
C 
and Grafton Street
F 
And we drank to ancient love
G 
Am 
for hours on end
Raised our glasses
F 
C 
D 
to remember absent friends
G 
Am 
F 
And we drank to chance encounters
C 
G 
too long overdue
Am 
F 
C 
On 7th Street on a Tuesday afternoon
F 
And we drank to ancient love
G 
Am 
for hours on end
Raised our glasses
F 
C 
D 
to remember absent friends
G 
Am 
F 
Oh and sometimes if I'm lonely
C 
G 
and I'm walking on my own
Am 
F 
I'll detour down South End Street
C 
going home you
