Key: A
Introduction:
A D E F#m
The book of love is long and boring
A D E A
No one can lift the damn thing
A D E F#m
It's full of charts and facts and figures
A D E A
and instructions for dancing
A D E F#m
But I........
A D E A
I love it when you read to me
A D E F#m
And you..........
A D E A
You can read me anything
A D E F#m
The book of love has music in it
A D E A
In fact that's where music comes from
A D E F#m
Some of it is just transcendental
A D E A
Some of it is just really dumb
A D E F#m
But I........
A D E A
I love it when you sing to me
A D E F#m
And you..........
A D E A
You can sing me anything
A D E F#m
The book of love is long and boring
A D E A
And written very long ago
A D E F#m
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
A D E A
And things we're all too young to know
A D E F#m
But I........
A D E A
I love it when you give me things
A D E F#m
And you..........
A D E A
You ought to give me wedding rings
A D E F#m
And I.......
A D E A
I love it when you give me things
A D E F#m
And you..........
A D E A
You ought to give me wedding rings
A D E F#m
And I.......
A D E A
I love it when you give me things
A D E F#m
And you..........
A D E A
You ought to give me wedding rings
A D E A
You ought to give me wedding rings
