        E                          G#m                 C#m
Don't tell me you don't know what love is when you're old enough to
       G#m                C#m                       F#m
know better.  When you find strange hands in your sweater, when
          G#m         C#                          F#m

(chorus) E G#m A B E G#m I'm giving you a long look ev'ryday, ev'ryday, A B E G#m ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book. A B 2nd verse: C#m E The way you walk, the way you talk 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 G#m B cutting remarks are captured here in my quotation marks, and? (chorus) E G#m A B E G#m I'm giving you a long look ev'ryday, ev'ryday, A B E G#m ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book. A B E G#m C#m Don't tell me you don't know the diff'rence, between a lover and a G#m C#m F#m G#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#m B and be working on the sequel. {coda} E G#m A B E G#m I'm giving you a long look 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 B Ev'ryday, ev'ryday, ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book. (repeat unitl fade)
