[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 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 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
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 never gave a reason, I'll forever wonder why Am D We never got to finish the book of you and I
