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?

      A5         B5                E5   G#5   A5   B5
ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.

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?

 E5   G#5         A5      B5        E5         G#5
I'm giving you a long look ev'ryday, ev'ryday,

                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?

        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.

      A5         B5                C#5
ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.

     E5         G#5       A5         B5
Ev'ryday, ev'ryday, ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.
