[Verse]

C                               G
Now and then she rereads the manuscript
                        F
Of the entire torrid affair
C
They compared their licenses
    G
He said, "I'm not a donor but
                      
I'd give you my heart 
        F
if you needed it"
     C
She rolled her eyes and said
               G
"You're a professional"
                               F
He said, "No, just a good samaritan"
    C                                G
He said that if the sex was half as good 

as the conversation was
                          F
Soon they'd be pushin' strollers
        C
But soon it was over

[Verse]

        C          
In the age of him, 
                     G
she wished she was thirty 
                             
And made coffee every morning 
       F
in a Frеnch press
C                      
Afterwards she only atе 
       G
kids' cereal
                               
And couldn't sleep unless it was 
        F
in her mother's bed
C                     
Then she dated boys 
              G
who were her own age
                         
With dart boards on the 
                F
backs of their doors
      C                            
She thought about how he said since 
   G
she was so wise beyond her years 
                           F
Everything had been above board
            C
She wasn't sure

[Bridge]

         G
And the years passed
       Am          F
Like scenes of a show
        G              Am  
The Professor said to write 
          F
what you know
         G
Lookin' backwards
       C           G            F
Might be the only way to move forward
          G
Then the actors
      Am            F
Were hitting their marks
         G
And the slow dance
      Am              F
Was alight with the sparks
          G
And the tears fell
     C       G              F
In synchronicity with the score
        G
And at last
          C           G           F
She knew what the agony had been for
 
[Verse]

     C                     
The only thing that's left 
          G
is the manuscript
                       
One last souvenir from 
                 F
my trip to your shores 
C                             G
Now and then I reread the manuscript
                         F
But the story isn't mine anymore
