[Verse 1]
C6sus2Seven Days was all she wrote
Ebmaj7sus2 Bb6sus2
A kind of ultimatum note
G[add9] G
She gave to me
F[add9] F6/9
She gave to me
C6sus2When I thought the field had cleared
Ebmaj7sus2 Bb6sus2
It seems another suit appeared to
G[add9] G
challenge me
EWoe is me
[verse2]
C6sus2Though I hate to make a choice
Ebmaj7sus2 Bb6sus2
My options are decreasing
G[add9] G
mostly rapidly
F[add9] F6/9
Well we'll see
C6sus2I don't think she'd bluff this time
Ebmaj7sus2 Bb6sus2
I really have to make her mine
G[add9] G
It's plain to see
It's Ehim or me
[Chorus]
FMonday, F#dimI could wait tillG Tuesday
If G#dimI make up my miAmnd, Fmaj7Wednesday would be fiGne
G#dimThursday's on my Ammind. C/BbFriday'd give me Amtime
C/Bb Am Fm[maj7] C6sus2
Saturday could wait, but Sunday'd be too late
[verse 3]
C6sus2The fact he's over six feet ten
Ebmaj7sus2 Bb6sus2
Might instill fear in other men
G[add9] G
But not in me
F[add9] F6/9
The mighty flea
C6sus2Ask if I am mouse or man
Ebmaj7sus2 B6sus2
The mirror squeaked away I ran
G[add9] G
He'll murder me
In Etime for his tea
[verse 4]
C6sus2Doesn't bother me at all
Ebmaj7sus2 Bb6sus2
My rival is Neanderthal
G[add9] G
It makes me think
F[add9] F6/9
Perhaps I need a drink
C6sus2IQ is no problem here
Ebmaj7sus2 Bb6sus2
We won't be playin' Scrabble for
G[add9] G
her hand I fear
I Eneed that beer

....... ............Sunday'd be too late
C6sus2 Bb9-5
................Sunday’d be too late
C6sus2Do I have to tell a story
Bb9-5 Cmaj7sus2
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
Bb9-5 Cmaj7sus2

Bb9-5 Cmaj7sus2
But it's always me that ends up getting wet
Bb9-5 C6/9
