A5
Well, I don't know who wrote the book of love 
                                   D5
But, let me tell ya a little 'bout heartache 
        E5
She's a high-hipped ruby-lipped  

Hourglass, talkin' fast 
D5                 E5
Man-eatin', rattlesnake 
A5 
Sweeter than honey, but I'll bet ya money 
                              D5
She'll find a way to make you break 
   E5
So don't bother askin' me about love 
                           A5
Cause, I wrote the book on heartache 
A5
Thought I was Cassanova 
                 D5
Just like Jessie James 
    E5
I'd take 'em to my hideout 
D5
Love 'em like a runaway train 
        A5
I was a master of persuasion 
            D5
She had a PHD 
        E5
I got a backseat education 
                    A5
And, a bachelor's degree 
        A5
Well, I don't know who wrote the book of love 
                                   D5

                           A5
Cause, I wrote the book on heartache 
             D5
I'll pay the highest price 
                                     E5
Buy advice, to the oldest story ever told
