Verse 1: 
 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, some figures,  
 G   C                D   G
and instructions for dan-cing 
  
Chorus: 
     G C D G
But I 
 G      C           D       G
I love it when you read to me 
     G C D G
And you 
 G       C       D   G
You can read me any-thing  
 
Verse 2: 
 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 transcen-dental, 
 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 G
And you 
 G       C       D   G
You can sing me any-thing 
  
Bridge: 
 G        C         D         G
Ooohoooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh 
 G        C    D    G
Ooohoooh oooh oooh oooh 
  
Verse 3:
 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 G
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 G 
And you, 
 G           C        D       G
You ought to give me wedding rings 
 G           C        D       G
You ought to give me wedding rings
