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