Introduction:
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
Cm F
I felt her growing distant
Cm
I knew her love was shifting
F
And all that I could say was
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
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
Cm F
That she had grown so distant
Cm
And that her love had shifted
F
I wish she felt the same
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
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
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

There were so many chapters
That we never got to write
