[Verse]
        G 
Well it all began in the back of her
 car 
Well it all began in the back of her car 
D/F#  Em            C 
I was just 16 but I fell so hard 
           G 
Well the years went by and she held
 my heart 
Well the years went by and she held my heart 
D/F#    Em                C 
But her love ran dry and we fell
 apart
But her love ran dry and we fell apart
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                    D 
I felt her growing distant 
                     Am 
I knew her love was shifting 
                      D 
And all that I could say was
[Chorus]
       G 
Don't tell me that it's over 
  
The book of you & I 
D/F#          Em 
Now you've scribbled out my name 
  
And you've erased my favorite lines 
      Am 
There were so many chapters that we
 never got to write 
There were so many chapters that we never got to write 
       D 
Like cereal for dinner and staying up
 all night 
Like cereal for dinner and staying up all night 
      G 
I remember where we started 
  
I remember how you looked 
D/F#         Em 
But now I'm missing bits and pieces 
         C 
From the pages that you took 
     Am 
You didn't give a reason and I'll
 forever wonder why 
You didn't give a reason and I'll forever wonder why 
     D 
We never got to finish the book of
 you and I
We never got to finish the book of you and I
[Verse]
         G 
Well I bought a pen and I turned the
 page 
Well I bought a pen and I turned the page 
D/F#     Em              C 
Then I wrote about how I wish you'd
 stayed 
Then I wrote about how I wish you'd stayed 
        G 
I said all the things that I never
 got to say 
I said all the things that I never got to say 
D/F#    Em                  C 
Maybe when it's done I will feel
 okay
Maybe when it's done I will feel okay
[Pre-Chorus]
Am                     D 
That she had grown so distant 
                        Am 
And that her love had shifted 
                     D 
I wish she felt the same
[Chorus]
       G 
Don't tell me that it's over 
  
The book of you & I 
D/F#          Em 
Now you've scribbled out my name 
           C 
And you've erased my favorite lines 
       Am 
There were so many chapters that we
 never got to write 
There were so many chapters that we never got to write 
       D 
Like cereal for dinner and staying up
 all night 
Like cereal for dinner and staying up all night 
     G 
I remember where we started 
  
I remember how you looked 
D/F#         Em 
But now I'm missing bits and pieces 
         C 
From the pages that you took 
     Am 
You never gave a reason and I'll
 forever wonder why 
You never gave a reason and I'll forever wonder why 
     D 
We never got to finish the book of
 you and I
We never got to finish the book of you and I
[Bridge]
G 
Don't tell me, tell me that you're
 leaving 
Don't tell me, tell me that you're leaving 
Em                             
My belly hurts, and my heart is
        Am 
 hardly beating right 
My belly hurts, and my heart is hardly beating right 
                           D 
I hate to beg but I'll try one last
 time
I hate to beg but I'll try one last time
[Chorus]
       G 
Don't tell me that it's over 
  
The book of you & I 
D/F#          Em 
Now you've scribbled out my name 
           C 
And you've erased my favorite lines 
       Am 
There were so many chapters that we
 never got to write 
There were so many chapters that we never got to write 
       D 
Like cereal for dinner and staying up
 all night 
Like cereal for dinner and staying up all night 
      G 
I remember where we started 
  
I remember how you looked 
D             Em 
But now I'm missing bits and pieces 
         C 
From the pages that you took 
     Am 
You never gave a reason and I'll
 forever wonder why 
You never gave a reason and I'll forever wonder why 
     D                            
We never got to finish the book of
           G 
 you and I
We never got to finish the book of you and I
