[Verse 1]
 
          "Seven Days" was all she wrote             A kind of      ultimatum note

      She gave to me,                           she gave to me
e|-------------7----------------------------------------------------------------------|

      When I thought the field had cleared       It seems another        suit appeared
e|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------8--------------------8--------------------6--------------------6-------|
G|-------------7--------------------7--------------------7--------------------5-------|
D|-------------7--------------------7--------------------8--------------------5-------|
A|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|--------8---------------------8-------------------6--------------------6------------|
 
 
     To challenge me                                woe  is   me

        Though I   hate   to   make a choice      My options   are     decreasing

     most rapidly                               Well we'll see

          I don't think she'd bluff this time    I really   have   to   make her mine

G|------------7----------------------7-------------------7--------------------5-------|
D|------------7----------------------7-------------------8--------------------5-------|

E|--------8---------------------8-------------------6--------------------6------------|
 
 
       It's plain to see                      It's him or me

[Verse 2]
 
            The fact he's over six feet ten        Might instill fear in other men
