[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

mission in two or three editions, and?

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

or five paragraphs. All your compliments and your
[F#m] [G#m] [B]
cutting remarks are captured here in my quotation marks, and?

[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.
