The Book Of You And I chords by Alec Benjamin

Verse:

    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

Pré-Chorus:

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

Chorus:

    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:

     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-Chorus:

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

Chorus:

    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

Chorus:

    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
