Intro (2x): Em Em Bm Bm Cmaj7 Cmaj7 D D
G G Bm Bm Em Em
Don't tell me you don't know what love is when you're old enough to
Bm Bm Em Em Am Am
know better. When you find strange hands in your sweater, when
Bm Bm E E Am Am
your dreamboat turns out to be a footnote, I'm a man with a
Bm Bm D D
mission in two or three editions, and?

(chorus)
G G Bm Bm C C D D G G Bm Bm
I'm giving you a long look ev'ryday, ev'ryday,
C C D D G G Bm Bm
ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.
C C

D D


1st Verse:
Em Em G G
Chapter one, we didn't really get along, Chapter two, I think I
Bm Bm G G C C D D Em Em
fell in love with you. you said you'd stand by me in the
Am Am
middle of Chapter three, but you were up to your old tricks in Chapters
Bm Bm D D
four, five, and six, and?

(chorus)
G G Bm Bm C C D D G G Bm Bm
I'm giving you a long look ev'ryday, ev'ryday,
C C D D G G Bm Bm
ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.
C C

D D


2nd verse:
Em Em G G
The way you walk, the way you talk and try to kiss me and laugh in four
Bm Bm G G C C D D Em Em
or five paragraphs. All your compliments and your
Am Am Bm Bm D D
cutting remarks are captured here in my quotation marks, and?

(chorus)
G G Bm Bm C C D D G G Bm Bm
I'm giving you a long look ev'ryday, ev'ryday,
C C D D G G Bm Bm
ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.
C C
D D


G G Bm Bm Em Em
Don't tell me you don't know the diff'rence, between a lover and a
Bm Bm Em Em Am Am Bm Bm
fighter. With my pen and my electric typewriter, even in a
E E Am Am
perfect world where ev'ryone was equal, I'd still own the film rights
Bm Bm D D
and be working on the sequel.

{coda}
G G Bm Bm C C D D G G Bm Bm
I'm giving you a long look ev'ryday, ev'ryday,
C C D D Em Em
ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.
