[C#m] [G#m]
[A] [B] Yeah
[C#m] [E]
[A] [B]
[E] Don't tell me you don't know [G#m] what love is
[C#m] When you are enough to know [G#m] that's all
[C#m] When you find strange hands and [F#m] feel sweat and fall
When your [G#m] dreamboat [C#] turns out to be a footnote
[F#m] I'm a man with a mission [E] to [B] three dishes
And [E] I'm giving you [A] a long look
[E] Every day, every day, [A] every day
When you say [E] I write you a book
[B]
Chapter [C#m] one, you made it really good
Chapter [E] two, I think I fell in [B] love with [E] you
[C#m] You said you'd stand by me in the middle of chapter [F#m] three
But you and I, we're all tricks and [G#] tempters
Fall [B] by the sixes
[E] I'm giving you a long [D#] look
[E] Every day, every day, every day
Every [B] day I write you a book
The [C#m] way you are, the way you're talking
Doesn't kiss me [E] in the [A] lap, you're far from my mouth
[E] You're grass, [C#m] you're [C#] grass
You're a man's transient [C#m] gutting [F#m] reminder
I'm capturing you in [F#] my [B] quotation marks
Oh, [E] I'm giving you a long look
Every day, every day, [A] every day
Every day [C#m] I write you a book
[E]
[A] [E]
Don't sell me, no, no, you're [G#m] bitter, fresh
[C#m] Sweet lover [G#m] and a fighter
[C#m] With my pen and my electric [F#m] typewriter
Even [G#m] in a perfect world [C#] where everyone was equal
I'd [F#m] still own the [E] film rights and be [B] working on the sequel
[E] I'm giving you a [D#] long look
[E] Every day, every day, every day
Every [D#] day I write you a book
Every day, every day, [B] every day
I [E] write you a book
Every day, [A] every day, every [B] day
I [C#m] write you a book
[G#m]
[A] [A] [E]
[E] Every day, every day, every day
Every day I write a book
I'm giving you a long look
Every day, every day, every day
I'm giving you a long look
Every day I write a book
I'm giving you a long look
Every day, every day, [B] every day
I'm giving you a long look
Every day I [D#] write a [E] book
I'm giving you a long look
Every day, every day, every day
I'm giving you a long [A] look
Every [E] day I write a book
[C#m] I'm giving you a long [A] look
Every day, every day, every [E] day
I'm giving you a long look
Every day, [E] every day, every day
I'm giving you a long look
Every day, every day, every day
