Seven Days

"[Cmaj7]Seven days" was all she wrote

A [Eb]kind of ulti[Bb]matum note

She [G]gave to me, she [F]gave to me[Fadd9]

[Cmaj7]When I thought the field had cleared

It [Eb]seems another [Bb]suit appeared

To [G]challenge me, [Eadd9]woe is me

[Cmaj7]Though I hate to make a choice

My op[Eb]tions are dec[Bb]reasing mostly [G]rapidly

[F]Well, we'll see[Fadd9]

[Cmaj7]I don't think she'd bluff this time

I [Eb]really have to [Bb]make her mine

It's [G]plain to see

It's [E]him or me[E7]

 

[Fmaj7]Monday, [F#m7b5]I could wait till [G]Tuesday

If [E7/G#]I make up my [Am]mind

[Fmaj7]Wednesday would be [G]fine, [E7/G#]Thursday's on my [Am]mind

[C7/Bb]Friday give me [Am]time, [C7/Bb]Saturday could [Am]wait

But [Fm]Sunday'd be too [Cmaj7]late

 

[Cmaj7]The fact he's over six feet ten

Might [Eb]instill fear in [Bb]other men

But [G]not in me, The [F]Mighty [Fadd9]Flea (flee?)

[Cmaj7]Ask if I am mouse or man

The [Eb]mirror squeaked, [Bb]away I ran

He'll [G]murder me in [Eadd9]time for his tea

[Cmaj7]Does it bother me at all

My [Eb]rival is [Bb]Neanderthal, it [G]makes me think

Per[F]haps I need a drink[Fadd9]

[Cmaj7]IQ is no problem here

We [Eb]won't be playing [Bb]scrabble for her hand I [G]fear

I [E]need that beer[E7]

 

[Fmaj7]Monday, [F#m7b5]I could wait till [G]Tuesday

If [E7/G#]I make up my [Am]mind

[Fmaj7]Wednesday would be [G]fine, [E7/G#]Thursday's on my [Am]mind

[C7/Bb]Friday give me [Am]time, [C7/Bb]Saturday could [Am]wait

But [Fm]Sunday'd be too [Cmaj7]late

 

[Bb]Seven days will [Cmaj7]quickly go

[Bb]The fact remains, I [Cmaj7]love her so

[Bb]Seven days, [F]so many ways

[Bb]But I can't run [Cmaj7]away

 

[Fmaj7]Monday, [F#m7b5]I could wait till [G]Tuesday

If [E7/G#]I make up my [Am]mind

[Fmaj7]Wednesday would be [G]fine, [E7/G#]Thursday's on my [Am]mind

[C7/Bb]Friday give me [Am]time, [C7/Bb]Saturday could [Am]wait

But [Fm]Sunday'd be too [Cmaj7]late

 

Do I [Cmaj7]have to tell a story

Of a [Bb]thousand rainy days since we [Cmaj7]first [Bm]met

It's a [Cmaj7]big enough umbrella

But it's [Bb]always me that [Cmaj7]ends up getting [Bb]wet[C]
