When I Write the Book

Intro: A  D  E
 
Verse
 A      D            E          A   D                    
Now I can still 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     E       E             A   
cause now Im just a shadow of the boy I used to be
 D       E
Yeah  Yeah

Chorus
 
    A                     C#7
And when I write the book about my love
       F#m                  D 
It will be about a man whos torn in half
          A                   C#7
About his hopes and ambitions wasted through the years
    F#m                           D 
The pain will be written on every page in tears
       A                       D
When I write, when I write the book
                 A 
when I write the book about 
                 D             E
When I write the book about my love

Verse

I was a fool to myself when I kept on runnin around
And I fared little better when I tried settlin down
Maybe some magic moment
Ive never known one, not for long
For all too soon the magic is in a moment gone

Chorus

And when I write the book about my love
Itll be a heartbreaking story about love and luck
When I get down on the pages all I felt
It will make the hardest-hearted of critics hearts melt
When I write the book about my love

Break: E  F  F#m  G  G  E

Verse

When I was young love was fun and I was so happy
I looked so good, and I dressed so snappy
Two-tone shoes on my feet, big old smile on my face
As I moved and grooved all over the place
Now Im down in the heels, my complexion is bad
cause my love life is sadder than sad

Chorus

And when I write the book about my love
Itll be a pop publication, tougher than tough
When I get down on the pages all I missed
It will shoot to the top of the best-sellers list
When I write the book about my love
