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
           C
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
       Em
And you've erased my favorite lines
    C                       Em
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                      Em
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
           C
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
       Em
And you've erased my favorite lines
    C                        Em
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                     Em
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
       Em
And you've erased my favorite lines
    C                        Em
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                     Em
You never gave a reason, I'll forever wonder why
   Am           D
We never got to finish the book of you and I
