Don’t tell me you don’t know what love is
5 6 -6 -6 -7 -6 6 5 6
When you’re old e-nough to know bet-ter
5 6 -6 -6 -7 -6 6 -55 -4
When you find strange hands in your sweat-er
4 -4 5 5 6 -6 -6 -6 -7 -6 6
When your dream boat turns out to be a foot note
-5 5 -4 -4 5 -4 4 4 5 5 6 6 -6 5
I’m a man with a mis-sion with two or three e-di-tions
(Chorus)
5-4 5 6 -5 5 -4 4 3 -44
And, I’m giv-ing you a long-ing look

Ev-‘ry day, ev-ry day, ev-ry day, ev-ry day I write the book

Chap-ter Two I think I fell in love with you
6 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 5 5 -6 -6 -7 7 -7 -7
You said you’d stand by me in the mid-dle of Chap-ter Three
-6 6 -5 5 -4 -4 5 -4 4 4 4
But, you were up to your old tricks in Chap-ters

Chorus
Don’t tell me you don’t know the dif-frence
Be-tween a lov-er and a fight-er
With my pen and e-lec-tric type writ-er
In a per-fect world where ev-ry one is e-qual
I’d still own the film rights and be work-ing on the se-quel
Chorus
The way you walk and talk and try to kiss me
And laugh in four or five par-a-graphs
All your com-pli-ments and cut-ting remarks
Are cap-tur-ed here in my quo-ta-tion marks
Chorus – repeat to fade
