Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4
            [Verse 1] 
G                          
Well, it all began in the back of her car
D/F#  Em                  C      
I was just sixteen, 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]
D                   Em       
I felt her growing distant
                      C    
I knew her love was shifting
                            
And all that I could say was
                            
                            
[Chorus]
       G                    
Don't tell me that it's over, the book
of you and I
D/F#       Em                   
Now you've scribbled out my name
                            
And you've erased my favorite lines
      C                                              C/B
There were so many chapters that we never got to write 
      Am                   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 from the pages that you took
     C                                              C/B
You didn't give a reason, and I'll forever wonder why
    Am                     D                G
We never got to finish the book of you and I
                            
                            
[Verse 2]
        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]
D                     Em      
But she had grown so distant
                        C    
And that her love had shifted
                            
I wish she felt the same
                            
                            
[Chorus]
       G                     
Don't tell me that it's over, the book of you and I
D/F#       Em                   
Now you've scribbled out my name
                            
And you've erased my favorite lines
       C                                            C/B
There were so many chapters that we never got to write
      Am                   D

     G                      
I remember where we started, I remember how you looked
    D/F#    Em                 
But now I'm missing bits and pieces from the pages that you took
    C                                              C/B
You never gave a reason, and I'll forever wonder why
   Am                      D               G
We never got to finish the book of you and I
                            
                            
[Bridge]
G                           
Don't tell me, tell me that you're leaving D/F#
Em                                   C
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 and I
D/F#        Em                    
Now you've scribbled out my name
                            
And you've erased my favorite lines
      C                                             C/B
There were so many chapters that we never got to write
     Am                    D  
Like cereal for dinner and staying up all night
    G                        
I remember where we started, I remember how you looked

But now I'm missing bits and pieces from the pages that you took

You never gave a reason, and I'll forever wonder why 
    Am                     D               G
We never got to finish the book of you and I
