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                    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   G
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   G
And you   
  G       C       D     G
You can sing me anything

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   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
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
