The Manuscript chords by Taylor Swift

🎸 Intro:

 C Cmaj7 G F

🎸 Verse:
 C                            Cmaj7
Now and then she rereads the manuscript
        G               F
Of the entire torrid affair
 C
They compared their licenses
     Cmaj7
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
            Cmaj7
"You're a professional"
     G                     F
He said, "No, just a good samaritan"
     C                              Cmaj7
He said that if the sex was half as good

As the conversation was
  G                          F
Soon they'd be pushin' strollers
   F          C     Gsus4 F
But soon it was over



🎸 Instrumental:

C Gsus4 F

🎸 Verse:
        C                              Cmaj7
In the age of him, she wished she was thirty
           G                         F
And made coffee every morning in a Frеnch press
  C                            Cmaj7
Afterwards she only atе kids' cereal
               G                          F
And couldn't sleep unless it was in her mother's bed

C                               Cmaj7
Then she dated boys who were her own age
        G                               F
With dart boards on the backs of their doors
     C
She thought about how he said
           Cmaj7
Since she was so wise beyond her years
    G                     F
Everything had been above board
 F          C Gsus4 F G
She wasn't sure

🎸 Instrumental:

C Gsus4 F

🎸 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
        Gsus4
And at last
           C        G            F
She knew what the agony had been for



🎸 Verse:
     C                               Cmaj7
The only thing that's left is the manuscript
             G                       F
One last souvenir from my trip to your shores
   C                         Cmaj7
Now and then I reread the manuscript
         G               F
But the story isn't mine anymore
