"Seven  days" was all she wrote
 A kind  of ultimatum  note
 She gave  to me, she gave  to me
When  I thought the field had cleared
 It seems  another suit  appeared
 To challenge  me, woe  is me
 Though  I hate to make a choice
 My options  are decreasing  mostly rapidly
 Well  we'll see
I  don't think she'd bluff this time
 I really  have to make  her mine
 It's plain  to see
 It's him  or me
 Monday, I  could  wait till Tuesday
 If I  make  up my mind
 Wednesday  would be fine,  Thursday's  on my mind
-5/nr /nr
 Friday give me time, Saturday could wait
 But Sunday'd  be too late
The  fact he's over six feet ten
 Might instill  fear in other  men
 But not  in me, The Mighty  Flea (flee?)
Ask  if I am mouse or man
 The mirror  squeaked, away  I ran
 He'll murder  me in time  for his tea
Does  it bother me at all
 My rival  is Neanderthal  it makes  me think
 Perhaps  I need a drink
IQ  is no problem here
 We won't  be playing scrabble  for her hand  I fear
 I need  that beer
 Monday, I  could  wait till Tuesday
 If I  make  up my mind
 Wednesday  would be fine,  Thursday's  on my mind
-5/nr /nr
 Friday give me time, Saturday could wait
 But Sunday'd  be too late
Seven  days will quickly  go
The  fact remains, I love  her so
Seven  days,  so many ways
But  I can't run away
 Monday, I  could  wait till Tuesday
 If I  make  up my mind
 Wednesday  would be fine,  Thursday's  on my mind
-5/nr /nr
 Friday give me time, Saturday could wait
 But Sunday'd  be too late
 Do I have  to tell a story
 Of a thousand  rainy days since we first met
 It's a big  enough umbrella
 But it's always  me that ends up getting wet
 Great song, hope you'll like it :)
 Cmaj7 x32000 , but I think x35453 sounds better
 G 320003 , or 355433
 Fadd9 xx3213 , but xx3011 will do the job :)
 Fmaj7/Fxx4210 (just add your pinky to the previous chord)
/  420100
-5/nr  x12310 (/nr stands for NOROOT)
 I'm sure there is a better name for that F7-5/nr chord,
 but who cares, anyway? Bah!
