Chords
	 
[Verse]
G
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
D/F# Em C
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
D
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
D
We never got to finish the book of you and I
[Verse]
G
Well I bought a pen and I turned the page
D/F# Em C
Then I wrote about how I wish you'd stayed
G
I said all the things that I never got to say
D/F# Em C
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
D
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
D
We never got to finish the book of you and I
[Bridge]
G
Don't tell me, tell me that you're leaving
Em Am
My belly hurts, and my heart is hardly beating right
D
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
D
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
D G
We never got to finish the book of you and I
