Berikut lirik dan chord lagu "The Book of You & I" dari Alec Benjamin.

[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 & 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 & 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
