Start Jamming...
[C#m] [G#m]
[A] Oh, [G#m] yeah,
[Cm] [C#m] [G#m] yeah
[A] [B]
[E] Don't tell [G#m] me you don't know
My love is [C#m] when you're old [G#m] enough to know
That's her [C#m] when you find strange hands [F#] in your [Am] sweat
That's her [G#m] when you dream for the first time
[C#] Turns out to be a good [F#] lord, I'm a [F#m] man
You've been [G#] wishing me good [B] three [E] conditions
And I'm giving [Am] you a love with [E] love
Every day, every day, every day, every day I write the book
[A] [B] [C#m] Chapter one, it really gets along
[E] Chapter two, I think I fell in love with you
[C#] Said [C#m] you'd stand by me in a bit like a fool
You'd have to dream it, [F#m] you would have to get on the streets
You'd have [G#m] to [C#m] stop by the dead [E] guy
I'm giving you a love with love
Every day, every day, [C#m] every day, every day I write the book
[A] The [B] [C#m] way you are, the way you talk
The way you kiss [E] me and laugh, [A] the way you bite [E] and scratch
The way [C#m] you use all your compliments
And your cunting remarks
[F#m] I've got to give, [G#m] I'm going to [C#] taste your mustard
[E]
I'm giving you a love with love
Every day, every day, every day, every day [C#m] I write the book [G#m] Every day
[A] You
[B] [E]
[G#m] don't know the difference
[C#m] Between a lover [G#m] and a writer
[C#m] With my pen and my electric [A] typewriter
[G#m] Living in a perfect world
[C#] Where everyone's [A#m] equal
I [F#]
[F#m] still only know [E] myself, [F#m] working [E] on a sequel
And I'm giving you a love with love
Every day, every day, [A] every day, [E] every day I write the book
Every day, every day, every day I write the book
Every day, [A] every day, every [C#m] day I write the book [G#m] [C#m] Every day
[B] [E]
I'm giving you a love with love
Every day, every day, every day I write the book
I'm giving you a love with love
Every day, every day, every day I write the book
I'm giving you a love with love
Every [A] day, every day, every day I write the [E] book
Every day, every day, every day, every day I write the book
I'm giving you a love with love
Every day, every day, every day I write the book
[A]
[E] I'm giving [A] you a love with love
Every day, every day, every day [F#m] I write the book
[E] I'm still living up [A] to the rules
Everyday, everyday [E] I write the [C#m] rules
Yeah
[G#m] [A] Everyday
