[Intro] (2x) C#m G#m Amaj7 B
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.
