The Manuscript
Taylor Swift
Key : C
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
C | Cmaj7 | C | C/F | C | Cmaj7 
C | C/F   

[Verse 1]
---------------------
C                               Cmaj7
Now and then she rereads the manuscript
   C                     C/F
Of the entire torrid affair
C
They compared their licenses
   Cmaj7
He said, "I'm not a donor but
    C                          C/F
I'd give you my heart if you needed it"
    C
She rolled her eyes and said
             Cmaj7
"You're a professional"
   C                          C/F
He said, "No, just a good samaritan"
   C                                Cmaj7
He said that if the sex was half as good as the conversation was
C                        C/F
Soon they'd be pushin' strolers
           C        G
But soon it was over

[Verse 2]
---------------------
F C G F       C                              Cmaj7
       In the age of him, she wished she was thirty
         C                       C/F
And made coffee every morning in a French press
C                             Cmaj7
Afterwards she only ate kids' cereal
             C                                C/F
And couldn't sleep unless it was in her mother's   bed
C                                   Cmaj7
Then she dated boys who were her own   age
     C                                    C/F
With dart boards on the backs of their doors
    C                                   Cmaj7
She thought about how he said since she was so wise beyond her years
C                            C/F
Everything had been above board
          C    G
She wasn't sure
F C G F        G
       And the years passed

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

[Outro]
---------------------
    C                                Cmaj7
The only thing that's left is the manuscript
         C                          C/F
One last souvenir from my trip to your   shores
C                            Cmaj7
Now and then I reread the manuscript
        C             C/F
But the story isn't mine   anymore
