Verse 1:
        Bb
Well it all began in the back of her car
F    Gm            Eb
I was just 16 but I fell so hard
           Bb
Well the years went by and she held my heart
F      Gm                Eb
But her love ran dry and we fell apart
 
Pre-chorus:
Cm                    F
I felt her growing distant
                     Cm
I knew her love was shifting
                      F
And all that I could say was
 
Chorus:
       Bb
Don't tell me that it's over
 
The book of you & I
F            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           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
 
Verse 2:
         Bb
Well I bought a pen and I turned the page
F       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      Gm                  Eb
Maybe when it's done I will feel okay
 
Pre-chorus:
Cm                     F
That she had grown so distant
                        Cm
And that her love had shifted
                     F
I wish she felt the same
 
Chorus:
       Bb
Don't tell me that it's over
 
The book of you & I
F            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           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
 
Bridge:
Bb
Don't tell me, tell me that you're leaving
Gm                                     Cm
My belly hurts, and my heart is hardly beating right
                           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 & I
F            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             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                                       Bb
We never got to finish the book of you and I
