Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

2x):

 Don't tell me you don't know what love is when you're old enough to

 know better. When you find strange hands in your sweater, when

 your dreamboat turns out to be a footnote, I'm a man with a

 mission in two or three editions, and?

(chorus)

 I'm giving you a long look ev'ryday, ev'ryday,

 ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.

1st Verse:

 Chapter one, we didn't really get along, Chapter two, I think I

 fell in love with you. you said you'd stand by me in the

 middle of Chapter three, but you were up to your old tricks in Chapters

 four, five, and six, and?

(chorus)

 I'm giving you a long look ev'ryday, ev'ryday,

 ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.

2nd verse:

 The way you walk, the way you talk and try to kiss me and laugh in four

 or five paragraphs. All your compliments and your

 cutting remarks are captured here in my quotation marks, and?

(chorus)

 I'm giving you a long look ev'ryday, ev'ryday,

 ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.

 Don't tell me you don't know the diff'rence, between a lover and a

 fighter. With my pen and my electric typewriter, even in a

 perfect world where ev'ryone was equal, I'd still own the film rights

 and be working on the sequel.

 I'm giving you a long look ev'ryday, ev'ryday,

 ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.

 Ev'ryday, ev'ryday, ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.
