[Strophe]
      C                           Em 
Don't tell me you don't know what love is  
            Am                 Em 
When you're old enough to know better 
         Am                         Dm 
When you find strange hands in your sweater 
          Em 
When your dreamboat  
      A 
Turns out to be a footnote  
      Dm 
I'm a man with a mission  
   Em           G 
In two or three editions, and
[Refrain]
C     Em          F        G 
  I'm giving you a longing look 
     C         Em        F 
Everyday, everyday, everyday, 
      G              C 
Everyday I write the book 
Em  F  G
[Strophe]
           Am 
Chaaa-pter one, we didn't really get along 
        C              F                C 
Chapter two, I think I fell in love with you 
    Am 
You said you'd, stand by me in the middle of Chapter three 
             Dm 
But you were up to your old tricks in Chapters 
Em              G 
Four, five, and six, and
[Refrain]
C     Em          F        G 
  I'm giving you a longing look 
     C         Em        F 
Everyday, everyday, everyday,

Everyday I write the book 
Em  F  G
[Strophe]
         Am 
The wa-ay you walk 
                                        C 
The way you talk and try to kiss me and laugh  
           F        C 
In four or five paragraphs. 
         Am 
All your compliments and your cutting remarks  
    Dm                  Em        G 
are captured here in my quotation marks, and
[Refrain]
C     Em          F        G 
  I'm giving you a longing look 
     C         Em        F 
Everyday, everyday, everyday, 
      G              Am 
Everyday I write the book  
Am Em     Fmaj                 G 
Oo oooooo Everyday I write the book
[Strophe]
      C                          Em 
Don't tell me you don't know the difference 
   Am                 Em 
Between a lover and a fighter   
        Am                      Dm 
With my pen and my electric typewriter 
     Em 
Even in a perfect world  
      A 
Where everyone was equal 
    Dm 
I'd still own the film rights 
       Em             G 
And be working on the sequel, and
[Refrain]
C     Em          F        G 
  I'm giving you a longing look 
     C         Em        F 
Everyday, everyday, everyday, 
      G              C 
Everyday I write the book 
Em        F 
Everyday, everyday, 
      G              C 
Everyday I write the book 
Em        F 
Everyday, everyday,
