Em        D/F# G C+9  Am
Today and ever-y day,  
Em        D/F# G C+9  Am
Today and ever-y day
Em        D/F# G C+9  Am
Today and ever-y day, 
Em        D/F# G C+9  Am
Today and ever-y day
Em           D/F#         G
I'm standin' here in your closet, 
C+9          Am
Unbuttonin' all your clothes
Em           D/F#         G
You sleep in your bed tonight, 
C+9          Am
But i never find you home
Em           D/F#         G
You're givin' me crooked answers, 
C+9          Am
I'm crackin' your little code
Em           D/F#         G
I'm learnin' another language, 
C+9          Am
So full it's about to explode

BRIDGE:

Em (vamp)
You give me a ladder now
I surely believe I'll climb
It don't even matter now
I'm willing to take my time

CHORUS:

Em                 D/F# G   C+9  Am
I'm gonna love you anyway - -    hey-ay.
Em        D/F# G C+9  Am
Today and ever-y day, 
Em        D/F# G C+9  Am
Today and ever-y day
Em                 D/F# G   C+9  Am
I'm gonna love you anyway - -    hey-ay.
Em        D/F# G C+9  Am
Today and ever-y day, 
Em        D/F# G C+9  Am
Today and ever-y day

VERSE:
Em          D/F#  G
I wanted it to be easy, 
C+9              Am
I know that i'll make you tired
Em                  D/F#     G
Some tell me you're slow and lazy, 
C+9                 Am
Some tell me you're so inspired
Em           D/F#         G
You wanted a long flirtation, 
C+9                 Am
Your plane doesn't ever land
Em                  D/F#    G
Some things i don't want to look at, 
C+9             Am
I don't want to understand but

BRIDGE:

Em (vamp)
You give me a ladder now
I surely believe i'll climb
It don't even matter now
I'm willing to take my time
