[Intro]

G C D G  

G C D G  

G C D G 

G C D G


[Verse]

G           C       D        G
The book of love is long and boring
G          C        D    G
No one can lift the damn thing
G            C          D          G
It's full of charts and facts and figures
G   C            D      G
and instructions for dancing


[Chorus]

G     C  D  G
But I 
G         C        D    G
I love it when you read to me
G       C   D   Em
And you 
G   C           D  G 
You can read me anything


[Verse]

G           C        D     G
The book of love has music in it
G              C     D           G
In fact that's where music comes from
G          C       D        G
Some of it is just transcendental
G          C       D      G
Some of it is just really dumb


[Chorus]

G     C  D  G
But I        
G         C        D       G
I love it when you sing to me
G       C   D   Em
And you  
G       C       D     G
You can sing me anything


[Bridge]

G C D G  

G C D G  

G C D G 

G C D G


[Verse]

G           C       D        G
The book of love is long and boring
G       C        D    G 
And written very long ago
G            C           D            G
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
G                C       D     G 
And things we're all too young to know


[Chorus]

G     C  D  G
But I        
G         C        D       G
I love it when you give me things
G       C   D   Em
And you          
G            C       D       G
You ought to give me wedding rings
G    C  D  G
And I       
G         C        D       G
I love it when you give me things
G       C   D   Em
And you          
G            C       D       G
You ought to give me wedding rings
G    C  D  G
And I      
G         C        D       G
I love it when you give me things
G       C   D   Em
And you          
G            C       D       G
You ought to give me wedding rings
G            C       D       G
You ought to give me wedding rings
