[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                                           G/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                                        G/B
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
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                                            G/B
There were so many chapters that we never got to write

       Am                     D

     G

D/F#          Em
But now I'm missing bits and pieces from the pages that you took

      C                                       G/B

      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
And you've erased my favorite lines
       C                                            G/B
There were so many chapters that we never got to write

       Am                     D

      G

  D/F#        Em
But now I'm missing bits and pieces from the pages that you took

      C                                        G/B

     Am                     D
We never got to finish the book of you and I
