[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
F
I'd give you my heart 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 G
In the age of him, she wished she was thirty
F
And made coffee every morning in a French press
C G
Afterwards she only ate kids' cereal
F
And couldn't sleep unless it was in her mother's bed
C G
Then she dated boys who were her own age
F
With dart boards on the backs of their doors
C G
She thought about how he said since 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 F
The Professor said to write 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 G
The only thing that's left is the manuscript
F
One last souvenir from my trip to your shores
C G
Now and then I reread the manuscript
