Am G7
She fed me strawberries and

freezer-burned ice cream
E7
I said "Good-bye I guess"
Fmaj7th
She lifted up her dress
D7
and so I must confess
we made out one more
Em A7 D Em A7 D
time before I left for good
Em A7 D Em A7
She thought I'd come back but I
Bflat F E7
wouldn't want to seem like other guys
Am G7
A book-and-record love,

we sat and read our books
E7
between those longing looks,

My tongue inside her ear,
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/barenaked_ladies/in_the_car_crd.html ]

we were waiting for our lives
F# Em
to start their endings

We were never making love
