[F] [Gm]
[Eb] [Bb] Well it all began in the back of [F] her car I [Gm] was just sixteen [F] but I fell so hard
[Bb] Well the years went by and she held my [F] heart But [Gm] her love ran dry and [F] we fell apart
I felt her [Gm] growing distant I knew her love was [F] shifting
And all that I could say was [Bb]
Don't tell me that it's over
The book of you and [Dm] I [Gm] Now you've scribbled out my name
And you've erased my favorite lines [Eb] There were so many chapters
That we never got to [C] write Like cereal for dinner
[F] And staying up all night [Bb] I remember where we started
I remember how you looked But [Gm] now I'm missing bits and pieces
From the pages that you took [Eb] You didn't give a reason
I'll forever wonder [C] why We never got to finish
[F] The book of you and [Bb]
I
Well I bought a pen and I turned the page Then [Gm] I wrote about [Eb] how I wish you'd [Bb] stayed
I said all the things that I never got to say
Maybe [Gm]
when it's done [Eb] I will feel okay
[Gm] [F] That she had grown so distant And that her love [Eb] had shifted
I wish she felt the same
[Bb] Don't tell me that it's over
The book of you and I Now [Gm] you've scribbled out my name
And you've erased my favorite lines [Eb] There were so many chapters
That we never got to [C] write Like cereal for dinner
[F] And staying up all [Bb] night I remember where we started
I remember how you [Dm] looked But [Gm] now I'm missing bits and pieces
From the pages that you took [F] [Eb] You never gave a reason
I'll forever wonder [C] why We never got to finish
[F] The book of you and I
[Bb] Don't tell me, tell me that you're [Gm] leaving My belly hurts
And my heart is [Eb] hardly beating right I hate to [C] beg but I'll try one last time
[F]
[Bb] Don't tell me that it's over The book of you and I
[Gm] Now you've scribbled out my name And you've erased my favorite lines
[F] There were so many chapters That we never got to write
[Cm] Like cereal for dinner [F] And staying up all night
[Bb] I remember where we started I remember how you looked
[Dm] But [Gm] now I'm missing bits and pieces From the pages that you took
[Eb] You never gave a reason I'll forever wonder why
[C] We never got to finish [F] The book of you and I
