 Am  G  (x2)
 
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
 
Am  G  (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  End riff
 We were never making love
 
End riff

Here are some corrections. 1. The G in the chorus is a Gmaj7 and the F is and Fmaj7 2. The section marked as Eb7 D is actually Eb7 Gb7 D(1) D(2) Eb7 (xx2323) Gb7 (xx5656) D(1) (xx0775) D(2) (xx0232) Other than that great chart.
