Version 1
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A D E A D
Well I can remember like it was only yesterday
E A D E A D
Love was young and foolish like a little child at play
E A D E A D
But oh how lovers change -- I never dreamed how easily
E A D E A
for now I'm just a shadow of the boy I used to be
D E
Oh Yeah Yeah
[Chorus]
A C#7
When I write the book about my love
F#m D
It will be about a man who’s torn in half
A E
About his hopes and ambitions wasted through the years
C#7 F#m D
The pain will be written on every page in tears
A D
When I write… (when I write the book)
E A
…Yeah, the book about my love
D E
(When I write the book about my love)
[Verse 2]
A D E A D
I was a fool to myself when I kept on runnin' round
E A D E A D
And I fared little better when I tried settlin' down
E A D
Maybe some magic moments
E A D
I've never known one, not for long
E A D E A
For all too soon the magic is in a moment gone
D E
Who-oah
[Chorus]
A C#7
When I write the book about my love
F#m D
It'll be a heartbreaking story about love and luck
A E
When I get down on the pages all I felt
C#7 F#m D
It will make the hardest-hearted of critics hearts melt
A D
When I write… (when I write the book)
E A
…the book about my love
D E
(When I write the book about my love)
[Break]
E F F#m G E
[Verse 3]
A D E A
When I was young love was fun and I was so happy
D E
I looked so good, and I dressed so snappy
A D E
Two-tone shoes on my feet, big old smile on my face
A D E
As I moved and grooved all over the place
A D E
Now I'm down in the heels, my complexion is bad
A D E
cause my love life is sadder than sad
[Chorus]
A C#7
When I write the book about my love
F#m D
It'll be a pop publication, tougher than tough
A E
When I get down on the pages all that I missed
C#7 F#m D
It's going straight to the top of the best-sellers list
A D
When I write… (when I write the book)
E A
…Yes, the book about my love
D E
(When I write the book about my love)
A D
When I write… (when I write the book)
E A
…Yes, the book about my love
D E A
(When I write the book about my love)
