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 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 &amp; 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 2]
         G
Well I bought a pen and I turned the page
D/F#     Em              C
Then I wrote about how I wished you'd stay
        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 &amp; 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 &amp; 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
