[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                                              C/B
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                                              C/B
You didn't give a reason, and 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

   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 D/F#

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

    Am                     D               G
