Tom: E5
Intro (2x): C#5 G#5 A5 B5
E5 G#5 C#5
Don't tell me you don't know what love is when you're old enough to
G#5 C#5 F#5
know better. When you find strange hands in your sweater, when
G#5 C#5 F#5
your dreamboat turns out to be a footnote, I'm a man with a
G#5 B5
mission in two or three editions, and?
(chorus)
E5 G#5 A5 B5 E5 G#5
I'm giving you a long look ev'ryday, ev'ryday,
A5 B5 E5 G#5 A5 B5
ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.
1)
C#5 E5
Chapter one, we didn't really get along, Chapter two, I think I
G#5 E5 A5 B5 C#5
fell in love with you. you said you'd stand by me in the
F#5
middle of Chapter three, but you were up to your old tricks in Chapters
G#5 B5
four, five, and six, and?
(chorus)
E5 G#5 A5 B5 E5 G#5
I'm giving you a long look ev'ryday, ev'ryday,
A5 B5 E5 G#5 A5 B5
ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.
2)
C#5 E5
The way you walk, the way you talk and try to kiss me and laugh in four
G#5 E5 A5 B5 C#5
or five paragraphs. All your compliments and your
F#5 G#5 B5
cutting remarks are captured here in my quotation marks, and?
(chorus)
E5 G#5 A5 B5 E5 G#5
I'm giving you a long look ev'ryday, ev'ryday,
A5 B5 E5 G#5 A5 B5
ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.
E5 G#5 C#5
Don't tell me you don't know the diff'rence, between a lover and a
G#5 C#5 F#5 G#5
fighter. With my pen and my electric typewriter, even in a
C#5 F#5
perfect world where ev'ryone was equal, I'd still own the film rights
G#5 B5
and be working on the sequel.
E5 G#5 A5 B5 E5 G#5
I'm giving you a long look ev'ryday, ev'ryday,
A5 B5 C#5
ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.
G#5 A5 B5 E5 G#5 A5 B5
E5 G#5 A5 B5
Ev'ryday, ev'ryday, ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.
