When I Write The Book

A   D E

[Verse 1]
E              A   D            
Now I can remember  like it was 
           A
only yesterday
D     E             A       D  
 Love was young and foolish  
     E               A
like a little child at play
D    E             A      D    
 But oh how lovers change, I 
                    A
never dreamed how easily
D    E              A      D   
 But now I'm just a shadow  of 
                  A      D      E
the boy I used to be, oh yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
    A                     C#m
And when I write the book about my 
love
        F#m                    D
It will be about a man who was torn 
in half
          A                   E
About his hopes and ambitions wasted
 through the years
    C#m                           
The pain will be written on every 
F#m       D
page in tears
           A                       
Oh, when I write (when I write the 
D
book),
                          E        
Oh, when I write the book about my 
A
love
                  D N.C.        E 
N.C.
(When I write the book about my 
love)

[Verse 2]
N.C.    A              D            
             A
I was a fool to myself   when I kept
 on runnin' around
D    E              A     D    
 And I fared little better  
                   A
when I tried settlin' down

D   E             A      D     
 Maybe some magic moment, I've 
      E                  A
never known one, not for long
D    E            A         D  
 For all too soon the magic  
              A        D
was in a moment gone, oh yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
    A                     C#m
And 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#m                        
It will make the hardest-hearted of
    F#m
 critics' hearts melt
           A                       
Oh, when I write (when I write the 
D
book),
                          E        
Oh, when I write the book about my 
A
love
                  D N.C.        E 
N.C.
(When I write the book about my 
love)

[Verse 3]
E          A                     
When I was young love was fun and
   D         E
 I was so happy,
A                      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         
Because my love life is sadder 
  E
than sad

[Out-Chorus]
A                         C#m
And 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 I 
missed
        C#m                    
It will shoot to the top of the 
      F#m
best-sellers list
       A                      
When I write (when I write the 
 D
book),
                          E        
Oh, when I write the book about my 
A
love
                  D N.C.        E 
N.C.
(When I write the book about my 
love)
A                D             E
When I write the book about my love
A                D    E
When I write the book
A                D    E
When I write the book
A                D    E
When I write the book
A                D    E
When I write the book
A                D    E
When I write the book
