Every Day I Write the Book

Elvis Costello: Ron Sexsmith version with Costello live

This version of the song sounds best w/ Travis picking.

Capo: 2nd fret

[Intro]
C G F G x2

[Verse 1]
C Em Am
Don't tell me you don't know what love is when you're old enough to
Em Am Dm
know better. When you find strange hands in your sweater, when
Em Am Dm
your dreamboat turns out to be a footnote, I'm a man with a
G
mission in two or three editions, and?

[Chorus]
C G F G C G
I'm giving you a longing look ev'ryday, ev'ryday,
F G C
ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.

Intro x1

[Verse 2]
Am C
Chapter one, we didn't really get along, Chapter two, I think I
F C C B Am
fell in love with you. you said you'd stand by me in the
Dm
middle of Chapter three, but you were up to your old tricks in Chapters
G
four, five, and six, and?

[Chorus]
C G F G C G
I'm giving you a long look ev'ryday, ev'ryday,
F G C
ev'ryday, ev'ryday I write the book.

Intro x1

[Verse 3]
Am C
The way you walk, the way you talk and try to kiss me and laugh in four
F C C B
or five paragraphs.
