Verse 1 :
G
Well, it all began in the back of her car
D/F# Em C
I was just sixteen, but I fell so hard
G
Well, the years went by and she held my heart
D/F# Em C
But her love ran dry and we fell apart
Pre Chorus :
D Em
I felt her growing distant
C
I knew her love was shifting
And all that I could say was
Chorus :
G
Don't tell me that it's over, the book
of you and I
D/F# Em
Now you've scribbled out my name
And you've erased my favorite lines
C
There were so many chapters that
C/B
we never got to write
C/B
we never got to write
Am D
Like cereal for dinner and staying up all night
G
I remember where we started,
I remember how you looked
I remember how you looked
D/F# Em
But now I'm missing bits and pieces
from the pages that you took
from the pages that you took
C
You didn't give a reason, and
C/B
I'll forever wonder why
C/B
I'll forever wonder why
Am D G
We never got to finish the book of you and I
Verse 2 :
G
Well, I bought a pen and I turned the page
D/F# Em C
Then I wrote about how I wish you'd stayed
G
I said all the things that I never got to say
D/F# Em C
Maybe when it's done I will feel okay
Pre Chorus :
D Em
But she had grown so distant
C
And that her love had shifted
I wish she felt the same
Chorus :
G
Don't tell me that it's over, the book of you and I
D/F# Em
Now you've scribbled out my name
And you've erased my favorite lines
C C/B
There were so many chapters that we never
got to write
got to write
Am D
Like cereal for dinner and staying up all night
G
I remember where we started,
I remember how you looked
I remember how you looked
D/F# Em
But now I'm missing bits and pieces
from the pages that you took
from the pages that you took
C
You never gave a reason, and
C/B
I'll forever wonder why
C/B
I'll forever wonder why
Am D G
We never got to finish the book of you and I
Bridge :
G
Don't tell me, tell me that you're leaving
Em C
My belly hurts and my heart is hardly beating right
D
I hate to beg but I'll try one last time
Chorus :
G
Don't tell me that it's over, the book of you and I
D/F# Em
Now you've scribbled out my name
And you've erased my favorite lines
C
There were so many chapters
C/B
that we never got to write
C/B
that we never got to write
Am D
Like cereal for dinner and staying up all night
G
I remember where we started,
I remember how you looked
I remember how you looked
D/F# Em
But now I'm missing bits and pieces
from the pages that you took
from the pages that you took
C
You never gave a reason, and
C/B
I'll forever wonder why
C/B
I'll forever wonder why
Am D G
We never got to finish the book of you and I
