The Book Of You And I chords by Alec Benjamin

Chords with lyrics

Verse:

    Bb majorBb
Well it all began in the back of her car
F/AF/A G minorGm      Eb MajorEb
I was just 16 but I fell so hard
      Bb majorBb
Well the years went by and she held my heart
F/AF/A  G minorGm        Eb MajorEb
But her love ran dry and we fell apart

Pré-Chorus:

C minorCm          FF
I felt her growing distant
           C minorCm
I knew her love was shifting
           FF
And all that I could say was

Chorus:

    Bb majorBb
Don't tell me that it's over

The book of you & I
F/AF/A     G minorGm
Now you've scribbled out my name

And you've erased my favorite lines
   C minorCm
There were so many chapters

That we never got to write
    FF
Like cereal for dinner

And staying up all night
   Bb majorBb
I remember where we started

I remember how you looked
F/AF/A     G minorGm
But now I'm missing bits and pieces
     Eb MajorEb
From the pages that you took
   C minorCm
You didn't give a reason

And I'll forever wonder why
   FF
We never got to finish the book of you and I

Verse:

     Bb majorBb
Well I bought a pen and I turned the page
F/AF/A   G minorGm       Eb MajorEb
Then I wrote about how I wished you'd stay
    Bb majorBb
I said all the things that I never got to say
F/AF/A  G minorGm         Eb MajorEb
Maybe when it's done I will feel okay

Pré-Chorus:

C minorCm           FF
That she had grown so distant
            C minorCm
And that her love had shifted
           FF
I wish she felt the same

Chorus:

    Bb majorBb
Don't tell me that it's over

The book of you & I
F/AF/A     G minorGm
Now you've scribbled out my name
      Eb MajorEb
And you've erased my favorite lines
    C minorCm
There were so many chapters

That we never got to write
    FF
Like cereal for dinner

And staying up all night
   Bb majorBb
I remember where we started

I remember how you looked
F/AF/A     G minorGm
But now I'm missing bits and pieces
     Eb MajorEb
From the pages that you took
   C minorCm
You never gave a reason

And I'll forever wonder why
   FF
We never got to finish the book of you and I

Bridge:

Bb majorBb
Don't tell me, tell me that you're leaving
G minorGm
My belly hurts, and my heart
     C minorCm
Is hardly beating right
              FF
I hate to beg but I'll try one last time

Chorus:

    Bb majorBb
Don't tell me that it's over

The book of you & I
F/AF/A     G minorGm
Now you've scribbled out my name
      Eb MajorEb
And you've erased my favorite lines
    C minorCm
There were so many chapters

That we never got to write
    FF
Like cereal for dinner

And staying up all night
   Bb majorBb
I remember where we started

I remember how you looked
FF       G minorGm
But now I'm missing bits and pieces
     Eb MajorEb
From the pages that you took
   C minorCm
You never gave a reason

And I'll forever wonder why
   FF
We never got to finish
           Bb majorBb
