[Intro] (2x) C#m G#m Amaj7 B
E Don't tell me you don't know what
G#m C#m love is when you're old enough to
G#m C#m know better. When you find
F#m strange hands in your sweater, when
G#m C# your dreamboat turns out to be a
F#m footnote, I'm a man with a
G#m B mission in two or three editions, and? [Chorus]
E G#m A B I'm giving you a long look
E G#m ev'ryday, ev'ryday,
A B ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the
E G#m book.

[Verse 1]
C#m Chapter one, we didn't really get
E along, Chapter two, I think I
G#m E A B fell in love with you. you said
C#m you'd stand by me in the middle of Chapter three, but you
F#m were up to your old tricks in Chapters
G#m B four, five, and six, and? [Chorus]
E G#m A B I'm giving you a long look
E G#m ev'ryday, ev'ryday,
A B ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the
E G#m book.
A B [Verse 2]
C#m The way you walk, the way you talk
E 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 cutting remarks are captured here
G#m B in my quotation marks, and? [Chorus]
E G#m A B I'm giving you a long look
E G#m ev'ryday, ev'ryday,
A B ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the
E G#m book.
A B
E Don't tell me you don't know the
G#m C#m diff'rence, between a lover and a
G#m C#m fighter. With my pen and my
F#m G#m electric typewriter, even in a
C# perfect world where ev'ryone was
F#m equal, I'd still own the film rights
G#m B and be working on the sequel. {Coda]
E G#m A B I'm giving you a long look
E G#m 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 Ev'ryday, ev'ryday, ev'ryday,
B ev'ryday I write the book.
