G C D G
G C D G
G C D G
[Verse]
G C D G
The book of love is long and boring
G C D G
No one can lift the damn thing
G C D G
It's full of charts and facts and figures
G C D G
and instructions for dancing
[Chorus]
G C D G
But I
G C D G
I love it when you read to me
G C D Em
And you
G C D G
You can read me anything
[Verse]
G C D G
The book of love has music in it
G C D G
In fact that's where music comes from
G C D G
Some of it is just transcendental
G C D G
Some of it is just really dumb
[Chorus]
G C D G
But I
G C D G
I love it when you sing to me
G C D Em
And you
G C D G
You can sing me anything
[Bridge]

G C D G
G C D G
[Verse]
G C D G
The book of love is long and boring
G C D G
And written very long ago
G C D G
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes
G C D G
And things we're all too young to know
[Chorus]
G C D G
But I
G C D G
I love it when you give me things
G C D Em
And you
G C D G
You ought to give me wedding rings
G C D G
And I
G C D G
I love it when you give me things
G C D Em
And you
G C D G
You ought to give me wedding rings
G C D G
And I
G C D G
I love it when you give me things
G C D Em
And you
G C D G
You ought to give me wedding rings
G C D G
You ought to give me wedding rings
