_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ [D] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
[D] _ [G] Well, I can remember like [C] _
[G] [D] it was only [G] yesterday
_ _ [Cm] _
_ [G] Love was so damn foolish _ [C] like _ [D] a little [G] child in play
_ [C] _
_ [D] But oh, [G] how love is changed [C] _
_ [D] I wish my thoughts would [G] be the same _ _
[C] _ [Am] But now I'm [G] just a shadow [C] of [D] the man I [G] used to be _
[C] Oh, [D] oh, [G] and when I write a [B] book
_ _ [Em] It'll be about a man [C] who's gone and passed
[G] Oh, man, and it's [D] been way too many [B] years
The pages will be written [Em] on and the pages [C] will change
[G] When I write, when I write
[C] I'm _ [Dm] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ [G] so foolish of [C] myself
[D] When [A] I have gone, [G] _ _ _
[C] _ _ [D] _ _ [Em] _ [G] _ _ _
[C] _ _ [D] when I [G] started shouting _ _
[C] _ _ [D] I've had a few [G] magic _ moments
[C] _ [D] But these [G] will not be long _
[C] _ _ [D] Cause [G] all is once imagined _
[C] with [D] the [G] moment gone _
[C] Oh, [D] oh, [G] and when I _ [B] write a love
It'll be [Em] a heartbreak [C] story of man I've been with
When I [G] tear down all the pages
[D] All I've built [B] is a heart
_ [Em] _ [C] When [G] I write, when I write

[C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [D] _ [G] was young [N] and funny
_ Shoes _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [D] _ _ [G] on my feet, big [Cm] smile on [D] my [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [D] _ _ [G] face
Down the hill, and [C] my confession [D] is [G] bad
You know my love, _ [F]
[C] it shattered [D] in stride
[G] My _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ mother gave [C] me trouble in part
[G] When I tear down all the pages
[Bm] All I've built [B] is a heart
Shoes on my [Em] feet, big smile [F#] on my face
Down the hill, and my [G] confession is bad
You know my love, [C] it shattered in stride
[D] My mother gave me trouble in part
When I tear [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [D] [G] down all the pages
All I've built is a heart
