Elvis Costello – Everyday I Write The Book Chords

Don’t tell me you don’t know what love is
When you’re old enough to know better
When you find strange hands in your sweater
When your dreamboat, turns out to be a footnote
I’m a man with a mission, in two or three editions, and

I’m giving you a longing look, everyday, everyday, everyday,
Everyday I write the book

Chapter one, we didn’t really get along
Chapter two, I think I fell in love with you
You said you’d, stand by me in the middle of Chapter three
But you were up to your old tricks in Chapters, four, five, and six, and

I’m giving you a longing look, everyday, everyday, everyday,
Everyday I write the book

The way you walk, the way you talk and try to kiss me and laugh
In four or five paragraphs, all your compliments and your cutting remarks
Are captured here in my quotation marks, and

I’m giving you a longing look, everyday, everyday, everyday,
Everyday I write the book, ooo oooo everyday I write the book

Don’t tell me you don’t know the difference, between a lover and a fighter
With my pen and my electric typewriter, even in a perfect world
Where everyone was equal, I’d still own the film rights
And be working on the sequel, and

I’m giving you a longing look, everyday, everyday, everyday,
Everyday I write the book, everyday, everyday,
Everyday I write the book, everyday, everyday,
Everyday I write the book, ooo ooo oooo
