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)
