            [Intro]
||Bb||  Eb ||Gm||F
[Verse 1]
         Bb               Gm
Well, it all began in the back of her car
      Eb                  F
I was just sixteen, but I fell so hard
          Bb                    Gm
Well, the years went by and she held my heart
        Eb                  F
But her love ran dry and we fell apart


[Pre-Chorus]
F                       Gm
   I felt her growing distant
                     Eb
I knew her love was shifting

And all that I could say was


[Chorus]
      Bb
Don't tell me that it's over, the book of you and I
Am         Gm
Now you've scribbled out my name
                                    Fsus
And you've erased my favorite lines
      Eb                                               Dm
There were so many chapters that we never got to write
     Fsus                   F
Like cereal for dinner and staying up all night
  Bb                                                   Am
I remember where we started, I remember how you looked
            Gm                                                  Fsus
But now I'm missing bits and pieces from the pages that you took
    Eb                                                Dm
You didn't give a reason, and I'll forever wonder why
   Fsus                    F                      Bb
We never got to finish the book of you and I


[Verse 2]
        Bb                 Gm
Well, I bought a pen and I turned the page
         Eb
Then I wrote about how I wish you'd stayed
       Bb                    Gm
I said all the things that I never got to say
      Eb
Maybe when it's done I will feel okay


[Pre-Chorus]
F                      Gm
That she had grown so distant
                      Eb
And that her love had shifted

I wish she felt the same


[Chorus]
      Bb
Don't tell me that it's over, the book of you and I
Am          Gm
Now you've scribbled out my name
                                    Fsus
And you've erased my favorite lines
     Eb                                                Dm
There were so many chapters that we never got to write
     Fsus                  F
Like cereal for dinner and staying up all night
   Bb
I remember where we started, I remember how you looked
Am          Gm                                                  Fsus
But now I'm missing bits and pieces from the pages that you took
     Eb                                              Dm
You never gave a reason, and I'll forever wonder why
   Fsus                    F                  Bb
We never got to finish the book of you and I


[Bridge]
Bb                                 Am     Gm
Don't tell me, tell me that you're leaving
                                Fsus  Eb
My belly hurts and my heart is hardly beating right
                  Dm       Fsus         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 and I
Am          Gm
Now you've scribbled out my name
                                    Fsus
And you've erased my favorite lines
      Eb                                              Dm
There were so many chapters that we never got to write
     Fsus                   F
Like cereal for dinner and staying up all night
  Bb
I remember where we started, I remember how you looked
    Am      Gm                                                  Fsus
But now I'm missing bits and pieces from the pages that you took
     Eb                                             Dm
You never gave a reason, and I'll forever wonder why
    Fsus                   F
We never got to finish the book of you and I
