Intro

[C#m] [G#m] [Amaj7] [B] (x2)

[E] [G#m] [C#m]

Don't tell me you don't know what love is when you're old enough to

[G#m] [C#m] [F#m]

know better. When you find strange hands in your sweater, when

[G#m] [C#] [F#m]

your dreamboat turns out to be a footnote, I'm a man with a

[G#m] [B]

mission in two or three editions, and?

Chorus

[E] [G#m] [A] [B] [E] [G#m]

I'm giving you a long look ev'ryday, ev'ryday,

[A] [B] [E] [G#m]

ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.

[A] [B]

Verse 1

[C#m] [E]

Chapter one, we didn't really get along, Chapter two, I think I

[G#m] [E] [A] [B] [C#m]

fell in love with you. you said you'd stand by me in the

[F#m]

middle of Chapter three, but you were up to your old tricks in Chapters

[G#m] [B]

four, five, and six, and?

Chorus

[E] [G#m] [A] [B] [E] [G#m]

I'm giving you a long look ev'ryday, ev'ryday,

[A] [B] [E] [G#m]

ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.

[A] [B]

Verse 2

[C#m] [E]

The way you walk, the way you talk and try to kiss me and laugh in four

[G#m] [E] [A] [B] [C#m]

or five paragraphs. All your compliments and your

[F#m] [G#m] [B]

cutting remarks are captured here in my quotation marks, and?

Chorus

[E] [G#m] [A] [B] [E] [G#m]

I'm giving you a long look ev'ryday, ev'ryday,

[A] [B] [E] [G#m]

ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.

[A] [B]

[E] [G#m] [C#m]

Don't tell me you don't know the diff'rence, between a lover and a

[G#m] [C#m] [F#m] [G#m]

fighter. With my pen and my electric typewriter, even in a

[C#] [F#m]

perfect world where ev'ryone was equal, I'd still own the film rights

[G#m] [B]

and be working on the sequel.

{Coda]

[E] [G#m] [A] [B] [E] [G#m]

I'm giving you a long look ev'ryday, ev'ryday,

[A] [B] [C#m]

ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.

[G#m] [A] [B] [E] [G#m] [A] [B]

[E] [G#m] [A] [B]

Ev'ryday, ev'ryday, ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.
