  Intro (2x):

  [C#m]		[G#m]		[Amaj7]		[B]		

  

  

  Don't te[E]ll me you don't know what l[G#m]ove is when you're o[C#m]ld enough to 

  know be[G#m]tter.  When you fin[C#m]d strange hands in your sw[F#m]eater, when 

  your dream[G#m]boat turns o[C#]ut to be a footnote, I'm a m[F#m]an with a 

  mission in t[G#m]wo or three ed[B]itions, andÉ

  

  {c:chorus}

  I[E]'m g[G#m]iving you a [A]long lo[B]ok ev'ryd[E]ay, ev'ryd[G#m]ay, 

  ev'ryd[A]ay, ev'ryd[B]ay I write the bo[E]ok. [G#m]	[A]	[B]

  

  1st Verse:

  Chapter one[C#m], we didn't really get along, Chapter two[E], I think I 

  fe[G#m]ll in love with y[E]ou.[A]  [B]you sa[C#m]id you'd stand by me in the 

  middle of Chapter three, but you were u[F#m]p to your old tricks in Chapters 

  f[G#m]our, five, and s[B]ix, andÉ

  

  {c:chorus}

  I[E]'m g[G#m]iving you a [A]long lo[B]ok ev'ryd[E]ay, ev'ryd[G#m]ay, 

  ev'ryd[A]ay, ev'ryd[B]ay I write the bo[E]ok. [G#m]	[A]	[B]

  

  

  2nd verse:

  The way you walk[C#m], the way you talk and try to kiss me and laugh[E] in four 

  or fi[G#m]ve paragra[E]phs.[A]	[B]  A[C#m]ll your compliments and your 

  cutting remarks are ca[F#m]ptured here in my q[G#m]uotation ma[B]rks, andÉ

  

  {c:chorus}

  I[E]'m g[G#m]iving you a [A]long lo[B]ok ev'ryd[E]ay, ev'ryd[G#m]ay, 

  ev'ryd[A]ay, ev'ryd[B]ay I write the bo[E]ok. [G#m]	[A]	[B]

  

  

  Don't te[E]ll me you don't know the dif[G#m]f'rence, betw[C#m]een a lover and a 

  fi[G#m]ghter.  With my p[C#m]en and my electric typewr[F#m]iter, even i[G#m]n a 

  perfect world where ev[C#]'ryone was equal, I'd still [F#m]own the film rights 

  and be wo[G#m]rking on the se[B]quel.

  

  {coda}

  I[E]'m g[G#m]iving you a [A]long lo[B]ok ev'ryd[E]ay, ev'ryd[G#m]ay, 

  ev'ryd[A]ay, ev'ryd[B]ay I write the bo[C#m]ok.  

  

  [G#m] 	 [A] 	 [B]  	[E] 	 [G#m]	[A]	[B]

  

  Ev'ry[E]day, ev'ry[G#m]day, ev'ry[A]day, ev'ry[B]day I write the book.
