[Verse 1]
[G]Wel[C]l I[D] can remember[G][C]
Like it [D]was only yester[G]day[C]

Like a [D]little child at [G]play[C]
But [D]oh how love has [G]changed[C]
I never [D]knew how [G]easily[C]
Now [D]I'm just [G]a shadow[C]
Of the [Dsus4]boy I used [G]to be
[C]Yeah [D]yeah

[Verse 2]
And [G]when I write the book
[B]About my love
It will [Em]be about a man
Who was [C]torn in half
By [G]his hope and ambition
[D]Wasted through the years
[B]The man will be written
On every [Em]page in [C]tears
When I [G]write, When I write [C]the book
When I write the book about my [G]love
When I write the [C]book about my [D]love

I was [G]a fool to [C]my self
When I kept on [G]running [C]around

Maybe [D]some magic mo[G]ment[C]

Was [D]in a moment gone

And when I get [G]down on the pages
[D]All I have felt
It [B]will make the hardest heart of
the crit[Em]ics [C]heart melt

When I write the book about [G]my love
When I [C]write the book about my [D]love
