Now and then 
    G 
She re-reads the manuscript 
   G                   F 
Of the entire torrid affair 
C 
They compared their licenses 
   G 
He said: I'm not a donor, but 
    G 
I'd give you my heart 
       F 
If you needed it 
    C 
She rolled her eyes and said 
          G 
'You're a professional' 
         G                 F 
He said: No, just a good samaritan 
   C 
He said that if the sex was half as 
G 
Good as the conversation was 
G                       F 
Soon they'd be pushin' strollers 
            C       G  
But soon it was over

       C 
In the age of him 
                   G 
She wished she was thirty 
         G 
And made coffee every morning 
     F 
In a Frеnch press 
C                             G 
Afterwards she only atе kids' cereal 
             G 
And couldn't sleep unless it was 
       F 
In her mother's bed 
C 
Then she dated boys who were 
    G 
Her own age 
     G 
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 
G                              F 
Everything had been above board 
          C     G   
She wasn't sure

        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 
Might be the only 
G           F 
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 

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