Am G
She fed me strawberries
Am
And freezer-burned ice cream
E
I said "Goodbye, I guess"
F
She lifted up her dress
D7
And so I must confess
We made out one more
Eb7 D Eb7 D
Time before I left for good
Eb7 D
She thought I'd come back
Eb7 Bb F E
But I wouldn't want to seem like other guys
Am G
A book-and-record love
Am
We sat and read our books
E
Between those longing looks
F
Compounded by our fear
D7
My tongue inside her ear
My tongue inside her
Eb7 D Eb7 D
In the basement of her mother's
Eb7 D Eb7
House where we once taped the
Bb F E
First three sides of Sandanista! for my car
C D G G/F# Em7
We were looking for ourselves and found each other
C/B C D G G/F# Em7
In the car, it was rare to do much more than simply mess around
C/B C D G G/F# Em7
In the car, it was mostly mutual masturbation
C/B C D Am
And though we spoke of penetration, I'd have to wait
G
For someone else to try it out
AmG
(x3)
Am G
Once I had this dream
Am
where I slept with her mom
E
Unless I've got this wrong
F
A secret all along
D7
Unless she hears this song
Unless she hears it
Eb7 D Eb7 D
On a tape inside her car
Eb7 D Eb7
With her new husband and she
Bb F E
Turns to him and says "I think that's me"
C D G G/F# Em7
In the car, we were looking for ourselves but found each other
C/B C D G G/F# Em7
In the car, we groped for excuses not to be alone anymore
C/B C D G G/F# Em7
In the car, we were waiting for our lives to start their endings
C/B C D C
In the car, we were never making love
D C
We were never making love
D G

We were never making love
