Cmaj7
"Seven days" was all she wrote
   D#         A#
A kind of ultimatum note
     G               F
She gave to me, she gave to me

Cmaj7
When I thought the field had cleared
    D#            A#
It seems another suit appeared
     G            E
To challenge me, woe is me

 Cmaj7
Though I hate to make a choice
   D#             A#              G
My options are decreasing mostly rapidly
 F
Well, we'll see

Cmaj7
I don't think she'd bluff this time
   D#             A#
I really have to make her mine
       G
It's plain to see
      E       E7
It's him or me

Chorus:
 Fmaj7  F#m7-5             G
Monday, I could wait till Tuesday
   E7/G#         Am
If I make up my mind
 Fmaj7              G     E7/G#            Am
Wednesday would be fine, Thursday's on my mind
C7/A#           Am    C7/A#         Am
Friday give me time, Saturday could wait
     Fm              Cmaj7
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

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

Chorus

A#               Cmaj7
Seven days will quickly go
A#                  Cmaj7
The fact remains, I love her so
A#         F
Seven days, so many ways
A#              Cmaj7
But I can't run away

Chorus

      Cmaj7
Do I have to tell a story
       A#                                Cmaj7 A#
Of a thousand rainy days since we first met
       Cmaj7
It's a big enough umbrella
         A#                             Cmaj7 A# C
But it's always me that ends up getting wet
