[D] _ _ _ [E] _ _ But I can [A] remember like [D] _ _ [E] it was [A] only yesterday _ _ _ [D] _ [E] Love [G] was young [A] and foolish [D] like _ [Em] a little child
[A] at play _ _ [D] _ [E] But oh how [A] lovers change, _ [D] _ _ [Em] I never dreamed out
[A] easily For _ [D] _ _ [Em] now I'm [A] just a shadow _ [G] [D] of [Em] the boy I [A] used
to be _ [D] Oh yeah, [Em] yeah
[A] And when I write the book [C#] about my love [F#m] It will be about a man [D] who was torn in half
About [A] his hope and ambition [E] wasted through the years
[C#] The pain will be written on [F#m] every [D] page in tears
Oh [A] when I write, when I write [D] the book Oh [E] when I write the book [A] about my love
When I write [D] the book [E] about my love I [A] was a fool to myself
[D] _ [E] When I kept on [Am] running around And [D] _ _ [Em] I fared a little [A] better
When [Dm] _ _ [E] I tried [Am] settling down _ [D] _ _ [E] Maybe some [Am] magic moment
_ [D] Have [E] I known but [Am] not for long _ _ [D] _ _ [E] For all [A] too soon I imagined
_ [D] Was [E] in a [Am] moment gone _ [D] Oh yeah, _ [E]
[A] yes
And when I write the book [C#] about my love It will be [F#] a heartbreaking story
[D] Won't back up in love [A] When I get down on the [E] pages
All I felt [C#] It will make the hardest heartache
[F#m] A pretty [D] tartan bell Oh [A] when I write, when I write [D] the book
Oh [E] when I write the [A] book about my love When I write [D] the book [E] about my love
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [E] _
[A] When I was young love was fun [D] And I was [E] so happy
[A] I looked so good [D] I dressed [E] so snappy
[A] Two torn shoes on my feet [D] Big old smile on [E] my face
[A] But I moved, moved, [D] moved down over [E] the place [A] Now I'm down here [D] and my [E] complexion is back
[A] Because my love of [D] life is [E] sadder than sad
[A] But when I write the book [C#] about my love It [F#] will be a heartbreaking story
[D] So hard and tough [A] When I get down on the pages
[E] All I miss [C#] It will shoot to the top of [F#] the [D] bestsellers list
[A] When I write, when I [D] write the book [E] When I write the book [A] about my love
When I write the [D] book [E] When _
[A] _ I [D] write _ [E] the book [A] about my love
When [E] _ [D] _ [E] I write the book [A] about my [E] love
