piano and acoustic guitar

leslie part sounds great, and the piano sounds better than an
acoustic (cheap imitation) but the acoustic is still playable if you
don`t have a grand piano handy... for the second part, only the
chords are given, as piano is difficult to transcribe through email.
a jazz pianist shouldn`t have a hard time and playing the second part
as a second guitarist is very easy time. good luck.
(thanks bryson for your earlier posting that i piggy backed off of...)
symbols used in transcription:

verse:
| E | G D | C | Am C |
today and every day, today and every day
today and every day, today and every day
i`m standin` here in your closet, unbuttonin` all your clothes
you sleep in your bed tonight, but i never find you home
you`re givin` me crooked answers, i`m crackin` your little code
i`m learnin` another language, so full it`s about to explode
bridge:
| E | G D |
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:
| E | G D | C | Am C |
i`m gonna love you anyway-hey!
today and every day, today and every day
i`m gonna love you anyway-hey!
today and every day, today and every day
verse chords (no lyrics) x2:

verse:
| E | G D | C | Am C |
i wanted it to be easy, i know that i`ll make you tired
some tell me you`re slow and lazy, some tell me you`re so inspired
you wanted a long flirtation, your plane doesn`t ever land
some things i don`t want to look at, i don`t want to understand but
bridge:
| E | G D |
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
repeat chorus.
verse-type outro:
| E | G D | C | Am C |
hey hey hey hey-ey
today and everyday
