[Verse]
C
Now and then she rereads
         G
 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"
He said, "No,
                  F
just a good samaritan"
    C
He said that if the sex
              G
 was half as good as
the conversation was
Soon they'd be pushin'
    F
strollers
        C
But soon it was over

[Verse]
        C
In the age of him,
                       G
she wished she was thirty
And made coffee every
                F
 morning in a Frеnch press
C
Afterwards she only
             G
 atе kids' cereal

And couldn't sleep unless
                F
 it was in her mother's bed
C
Then she dated boys
              G
 who were her own age
With dart boards on
                     F
the backs of their doors
      C
She thought about how he said
           G
 since she was so wise
 beyond her years
Everything had been
        F
above board
            C
She wasn't sure

[Bridge]
         G
And the years passed
       Am          F
Like scenes of a show
        G
The Professor said to
  Am             F
 write what you know
         G
Lookin' backwards
       C           G
Might be the only way
           F
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
In synchronicity with
       F
 the score
        G
And at last
          C           G
She knew what the agony
          F
had been for

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