  The book of love is long and boring 
G        C             D/F#      G     
  No one can lift the damn thing  
G           C             D/F#      G 
  It's full of charts and facts and figures 
G       C              D/F#   G 
  And instructions for dancing but 

G C D/F# G 
I... 
G       C           D/F#    G 
  I love it when you read to me and 
G C D/F# G 
You... 
G         C       D/F# G 
  You can read me anything 


(Continue this pattern for the rest of the song) 


The book of love has music in it 
In fact that's where music comes from 
Some of it is just transcendental 
Some of it is just really dumb but 

I... 
I love it when you sing to me and 
You... 
You can sing me anything 

The book of love is long and boring 
And written very long ago 
It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes 
And things we're all too young to know but 

I... 
I love it when you give me things and 
You... 
You ought to give me wedding rings 
I... 
I love it when you give me things and 
You... 
You ought to give me wedding rings
