[Intro] (2x) C#mG#mAmaj7BEG#mC#m
Don't tell me you don't know what love is when you're old enough to
G#mC#mF#m
know better. When you find strange hands in your sweater, when
G#mC#F#m
your dreamboat turns out to be a footnote, I'm a man with a
G#mB
mission in two or three editions, and?
[Chorus]
EG#mABEG#m
I'm giving you a long look ev'ryday, ev'ryday,
ABEG#m
ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.
AB
[Verse 1]
C#mE
Chapter one, we didn't really get along, Chapter two, I think I
G#mEABC#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#mB
four, five, and six, and?
[Chorus]
EG#mABEG#m
I'm giving you a long look ev'ryday, ev'ryday,
ABEG#m
ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.
AB
[Verse 2]
C#mE
The way you walk, the way you talk and try to kiss me and laugh in four
G#mEABC#m
or five paragraphs. All your compliments and your
F#mG#mB
cutting remarks are captured here in my quotation marks, and?
[Chorus]
EG#mABEG#m
I'm giving you a long look ev'ryday, ev'ryday,
ABEG#m
ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.
ABEG#mC#m
Don't tell me you don't know the diff'rence, between a lover and a
G#mC#mF#mG#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#mB
and be working on the sequel.
{Coda]

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

ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.
G#mABEG#mABEG#mAB
Ev'ryday, ev'ryday, ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.
