[Intro]
| C C/B | C/G C/F | C C/B | C/G C/F |
[Verse 1]
C C/B
Now and then she rereads the manuscript
C/G C/F
Of the entire torrid affair
C
They compared their licenses
C/B
He said, "I'm not a donor but
C/G C/F
I'd give you my heart if you needed it"
C
She rolled her eyes and said
C/B
"You're a professional"
C/G C/F
He said, "No, just a good samaritan"
C C/B
He said that if the sex was half as good as the
conversation was
C/G C/F
Soon they'd be pushin' strolers
C G
But soon it was over
[Verse 2]
F C G F C
In the age of him,
C/B
she wished she was thirty
C/G C/F
And made coffee every morning in a French press
C C/B
Afterwards she only ate kids' cereal
C/G C/F
And couldn't sleep unless it was in her mother's bed
C C/B
Then she dated boys who were her own age
C/G C/F
With dart boards on the backs of their doors
C C/B
She thought about how he said since she was so wise beyond
her years
C/G C/F
Everything had been above board
C G
She wasn't sure
F C G F G
And the years passed
[Bridge]
Am F G
Like scenes of a show The profess
Am F G C
or said to write what you know Lookin' backwards Might be
G F
the only way to move forward
G
Then the actors
Am F G Am
Were hitting their marks And the slow dance Was alight with
F G C G
the sparks And the tears fell In synchronicity with the
F
score
G
And at last
C G F
She knew what the agony had been for
[Outro]
C C/B
The only thing that's left is the manuscript
C/G C/F
One last souvenir from my trip to your shores
C C/B
Now and then I reread the manuscript
C/G C/F
But the story isn't mine anymore
