(Verse 1)
(C)Now and then she re-reads the (C/B)manuscr i pt
Of (G)the entire torrid affair (F)
(C)They compared their licenses
He (C/B)said, "I'm not a donor but
I'd (G)give you my heart if you need-(F)ed it"
She (C)rolled her eyes and said, "You're a pro-(C/B)fessional"
He (G)said, "No, just a Good Sama-(F)ritan"
He (C)said that if the sex was half as (C/B)good as the conversation was
(G)Soon they'd be pushing (F)strollers
But (C)soon it was (C/B)over
(Solo)

(Verse 2)
In the (C)age of him she wished she was (C/B)thirty
And made (G)coffee every morning in a (F)French press
(C)Afterward she only ate kids' (C/B)cereal
And couldn't (G)sleep unless it was in her (F)mother's bed
(C)Then she dated boys who were her (C/B)own age
With (G)dartboards on the backs of their doors (F)
She (C)thought about how he said
Since she (C/B)was so wise beyond her years
(G)Everything had been above board (F)
She wasn't (C) sure
(Solo)

(Verse 3)
And the years (G) passed like scenes (Am) of a show (F)
The pro-(G)fessor said to write (Am) what you know (F)
Looking back-(G)-wards might (Am)be the only (G)way
To move (F)forward
Then the (G)actors were (Am)hitting their marks (F)
And the slow (G) dance was alight (Am) with the sparks (F)
And the (G)tears fell in (Am)synchronici-(G)ty with the (F)score
And at last (G)
She knew (Am)what the ago-(G)ny had been (G)for
(Outro.)
The (C)only thing that's left is the (C/B)manuscr i pt
One last (G)souvenir from my trip to your (F) shores
(C)Now and then I re-read the ma-(C/B)nuscr i pt
But the (G)story isn't mine (F) anymore - - - - -
