[Primeira Parte]

        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

[Pré-Refrão]

Cm                    F
I felt her growing distant
                     Cm
I knew her love was shifting
                      F
And all that I could say was

[Refrão]

       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

[Segunda Parte]

         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

[Pré-Refrão]

Cm                     F
That she had grown so distant
                        Cm
And that her love had shifted
                     F
I wish she felt the same

[Refrão]

       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

[Bridge]

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

[Refrão]

       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             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
                      Bb
The book of you and I
