Taylor Swift – The Manuscript - Red (Guitar)

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

        C                               G
In the age of him, she wished she was thirty

                                     F
And made coffee every morning in a Frеnch press

C                               G
Afterwards she only atе 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

                         A               B
Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echos

                    C#m            B/D#
Tellin' myself it's time now gotta let go

     E              A
But moving on from him is impossible

     E/G#                      B
When I still see it all in my, head

            A              C#m
In burnin' red, re ee ed, re ee ed

B
Re ee ed

                   A
But loving him was red

          C#m          B
Re ee ed

               A                    E
Losing him was blue, like I'd never known

                B
Missing him was dark grey, all alone

                   A                       C#m
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody

          B
You never met

                      A
'Cause loving him was red

C#m       B
Re ee ed, re ee ed

   A
Oh red

          C#m       B
Re ee ed

         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

     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

                         F
But the story isn't mine anymore
