C#m       G#m       Amaj7       B

        E                          G#m                 
Don't tell me you don't know what love is 
            C#m                  G#m   
when you're old enough to know better.  
         C#m                        F#m
When you find strange hands in your sweater, when
          G#m         C#                         
your dreamboat turns out to be a footnote, 
      F#m                    G#m           B
I'm a man with a  mission in two or three editions, and

CHORUS
 E   G#m         A        B        
I'm giving you a longing look 
     E         G#m        A         B                
ev'ryday, ev'ryday, ev'ryday, ev'ryday
               E      G#m        A         B
I write the book.
 
         C#m                             
Chapter one, we didn't really get along, 
        E               G#m               E   A   B     
Chapter two, I think I fell in love with you.  
    C#m
you said you'd stand by me in the middle of Chapter three
            F#m
but you were up to your old tricks in Chapters
 G#m             B
four, five, and six, and?

CHORUS
 E   G#m         A        B        
I'm giving you a longing look 
     E         G#m        A         B                
ev'ryday, ev'ryday, ev'ryday, ev'ryday
               E      G#m        A         B
I write the book.

             C#m                    
The way you walk, the way you talk and try to kiss me 
    E                 G#m       E     A     B 
and laugh in four or five paragraphs.       
         C#m
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        
I'm giving you a longing look 
     E         G#m        A         B                
ev'ryday, ev'ryday, ev'ryday, ev'ryday
               E      G#m        A         B
I write the book.


        E                           G#m          
Don't tell me you don't know the diff'rence, 
C#m                   G#m              
between a lover and a fighter.  
        C#m                      F#m         G#m
With my pen and my electric typewriter, even in a
                      C#                        
perfect world where ev'ryone was equal, 
         F#m
I'd still own the film rights
         G#m            B
and be working on the sequel.

CHORUS
 E   G#m         A        B        
I'm giving you a longing look 
     E         G#m        A         B                
ev'ryday, ev'ryday, ev'ryday, ev'ryday
               E      G#m        A         B        E
I write the book.

     E         G#m       A         B
