The Book Of You And I

	  		
Verse 1:

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

Pre-Chorus
Cm                    F 
I felt her growing distant 
                     Cm 
I knew her love was shifting 
                      F 
And all that I could say was 



       Bb 
Don't tell me that it's over 

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

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

That we never got to write 
       F 
Like cereal for dinner 

And staying up all night 
      Bb 
I remember where we started 

I remember how you looked 
F/A         Gm 
But now I'm missing bits and pieces 
         Eb 
From the pages that you took 
     Cm 
You didn't give a reason 

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


Verse 2:

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

Pré-Refrão 

Cm                     F 
That she had grown so distant 
                        Cm 
And that her love had shifted 
                     F 
I wish she felt the same 


  
     Bb 
Don't tell me that it's over 

The book of you & I 
F/A          Gm 
Now you've scribbled out my name 
           Eb 
And you've erased my favorite lines 
       Cm 
There were so many chapters 

That we never got to write 
       F 
Like cereal for dinner 

And staying up all night 
     Bb 
I remember where we started 

I remember how you looked 
F/A         Gm 
But now I'm missing bits and pieces 
         Eb 
From the pages that you took 
     Cm 
You never gave a reason 

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

Bridge:

Bb 
Don't tell me, tell me that you're leaving 
Gm 
My belly hurts, and my heart 
          Cm 
Is hardly beating right 
                           F 
I hate to beg but I'll try one last time 


       Bb 
Don't tell me that it's over 

The book of you & I 
F/A          Gm 
Now you've scribbled out my name 
           Eb 
And you've erased my favorite lines 
       Cm 
There were so many chapters 

That we never got to write 
       F 
Like cereal for dinner 

And staying up all night 
      Bb 
I remember where we started 

I remember how you looked 
F             Gm 
But now I'm missing bits and pieces 
         Eb 
From the pages that you took 
     Cm 
You never gave a reason 

And I'll forever wonder why 
     F 
We never got to finish 
                      Bb 
The book of you and I
