Intro C G F C G F [Verso 1] C G Now and then she rereads the manuscript G F Of the entire torrid affair C They compared their licenses G He said, "I'm not a donor but G F I'd give you my heart 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 G He said that if the sex was half as good as the conversation was G F Soon they'd be pushin' strollers C G F But soon it was over [Verso 2] C G Photo album on the counter, your cheeks were turning red Am F You used to be a little kid with glasses in a twin-sized bed C G And your mother's telling stories 'bout you on the tee-ball team Am F You taught me 'bout your past, thinking your future was me C And you were tossing me the car keys G Am "Fuck the patriarchy" keychain on the ground F We were always skipping town C And I was thinking on the drive down G Am Any time now, he's gonna say it's love F You never called it what it was C 'Til we were dead and gone and buried G Check the pulse and come back Am Swearing it's the same F After three months in the grave C And then you wondered where it went to G As I reached for you Am But all I felt was shame F And you held my lifeless frame [Pré-Refrão] C And I know it's long gone and G There was nothing else I could do Am And I forget about you long enough G F G C G To forget why I needed to [Refrão] C G 'Cause here we are again in the middle of the night Am F We're dancing 'round the kitchen in the refrigerator light C Down the stairs, I was there G Am F I remember it all too well [Verso 3] C G In the age of him, she wished she was thirty G F And made coffee every morning in a Frnch press C G Afterwards she only at kids' cereal G F And couldn't sleep unless it was in her mother's bed [Verso 4] C They say "All's well that ends well" G Am But I'm in a new hell every time F You double-cross my mind C G You said if we had been closer in age Am Maybe it would have been fine F And that made me want to die C The idea you had of me, who was she? G Am A never-needy, ever lovely jewel F Whose shine reflects on you C Not weeping in a party bathroom G Some actress asking me what happened Am You F That's what happened: you C G You, who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes Am F Sipping coffee like you were on a late night show C But then he watched me watch the front door G all night, willing you to come Am And he said, "it's supposed to be fun F Turning 21" [Ponte] 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 [Verso 5] C G Time won't fly, it's like I'm paralyzed by it Am F I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it C G After plaid shirt days and nights when you made me your own Am F Now you mail back my things and I walk home alone C G But you keep my old scarf from that very first week Am F 'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me C You can't get rid of it G Am F 'Cause you remember it all too well, yeah [Refrão] C G 'Cause there we are again when I loved you so Am F Back before you lost the one real thing you've ever known C It was rare, I was there G Am F I remember it all too well [Pós-Refrão] C Wind in my hair, you were there G You remember it all Am Down the stairs, you were there F You remember it all C It was rare, I was there G Am F I remember it all too well [Verso 6] C And I was never good at telling jokes Am But the punchline goes: F G "I'll get older, but your lovers stay my age" C Am From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones F G I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight C Am And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue? F G Just between us, did the love affair maim you too? F Cause in this city's barren cold G I still remember the first fall of snow F And how it glistened as it fell F C Am I remember it all too well F G Just between us did the love affair maim you C Am All too well F G Just between us, do you remember it C Am All too well F G C G Am F Just between us, I remember it all too well [Verso 7] C G The only thing that's left is the manuscript G F One last souvenir from my trip to your shores C G Now and then I reread the manuscript G F But the story isn't mine anymore
