When I Write The Book

A

[Verse 1]
              A    D            E
Well I can remember like it was 
           A    D
only yesterday
 E                   A    D       
Love was young and foolish like a 
 E                A   D
little child at play
    E               A     D      
But oh how lovers change -- I 
     E              A   D
never dreamed how easily
     E               A   D        
for now I'm just a shadow of the 
E             A
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                          
The pain will be written on every 
F#m       D
page in tears
         A                     
When I write… (when I write the 
  D
book)
            E             A
…Yeah, the book about my love
                   D           
(When I write the book about my 
  E
love)


[Verse 2]

         A            D        E 
I was a fool to myself when I 
              A    D
kept on runnin' round

       E            A    D    
And I fared little better when I 
     E             A   D
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 
For all too soon the magic is in
           A
 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                        
It will make the hardest-hearted of
 F#m             D
 critics hearts melt
         A                     
When I write… (when I write the 
  D
book)
      E             A
…the book about my love
                   D           
(When I write the book about my 
  E
love)

[Verse 3]
             A                     
When I was young love was fun and I
  D      E     A
 was so happy
                          D        
I looked so good, and I dressed so 
  E
snappy
           A                       
Two-tone shoes on my feet, big old 
  D          E
smile on my face
      A                    D      
As I moved and grooved all over 
    E
the place
        A                    
Now I'm down in the heels, my 
     D         E
complexion is bad
          A            D        
cause my love life is sadder than 
   E
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                 
It's going straight to the top of 
     F#m           D
the best-sellers list
         A                     
When I write… (when I write the 
  D
book)
            E       A
…Yes, the book about my love
                   D           
(When I write the book about my 
  E
love)
         A                     
When I write… (when I write the 
  D
book)
            E       A
…Yes, the book about my love
                   D           
(When I write the book about my 
  E    A
love)
