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
                      C
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
             Em
And you've erased my favorite lines
        C                                             Em
There were so many chapters 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
 D/F#         Em
But now I'm missing bits and pieces from the pages that you took
      C                                           Em
You didn't give a reason, I'll forever wonder why
     Am                     D
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 stay
        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
That she had grown so distant
                         C
And that her love had shifted
                      C
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
             Em
And you've erased my favorite lines
       C                                               Em
There were so many chapters 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
D/F#          Em
But now I'm missing bits and pieces from the pages that you took
      C                                          Em
You never gave a reason, I'll forever wonder why
      Am                     D
We never got to finish the book of you and I


Bridge:
  G                                   D/F#
Don't tell me, tell me that you're leaving
 Em                                     C
My belly hurts and my heart is hardly beating right
                            Am              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
             Em
And you've erased my favorite lines
       C                                               Em
There were so many chapters 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
  D/F#        Em
But now I'm missing bits and pieces from the pages that you took
      C                                         Em
You never gave a reason, I'll forever wonder why
     Am                     D
We never got to finish the book of you and I
