VERSE 
Ab/C        Db       Eb       Fm 
 The book of love is long and boring 
Ab/C   Db            Eb7       Ab 
 No one can lift the damn thing 
Ab/C         Db          Eb        Fm     Ab/C Db               Eb7 Ab 
 It's full of charts and facts and figures and instructions for dan-cing 


    Ab Db/Ab Eb/Ab Ab 
But I 
Ab      Db/Ab       Eb/Ab   Ab 
 I love it when you read to me 
    Ab Db/Ab Eb/Ab Ab 
And you 
Ab/C    Db     Eb  Ab 
You can read me anything 

Verse
 
Ab/C        Db        Bbm7  Ab 
 The book of love has music in it 
Ab/C    Db             Eb         Ab 
 In fact that's where music comes from 
Ab/C    Db         Eb      Fm   
 Some of it's just transcendental 
Ab/C    Db         Eb     Fm 
 Some of it's just really dumb 


    Ab Db/Ab Eb/Ab Ab 
But I 
Ab    Db/Ab        Eb/Ab   Ab 
I love it when you sing to me 
    Ab Db/Ab Eb/Ab Ab 
And you 
Ab/C   Db      Eb  Ab 
You can sing me anything

Verse
 
Ab/C        Db       Eb       Fm 
 The book of love is long and boring 
Ab/C        Db    Eb      Ab 
 And written very long ago 
Ab/C         Db           Eb           Fm 
 It's full of flowers and heart-shaped boxes 
Ab/C             Db       Eb7      Ab 
 And things we're all too young to know 


    Ab/C Db2 Eb7 Fm7 
But I 
Ab       Db         Eb      Ab 
 I love it when you give me things 
    Ab/C Db2 Eb7 Fm7 
And you 
Ab/C          Db     Eb7      Ab     
 You ought to give me wedding rings 
    Ab Bbm7 Ab/C DbM7 
And I 
Ab/Eb    Db/F       Eb/G    Ab 
 I love it when you give me things 
    Ab/C Db2 Eb7 Ab 
And you 
Ab/C         Db      Eb7      Ab 
 You ought to give me wedding rings 
Ab/C Db Eb7 Fm7 
Ab/C         Db      Bbm7          Ab5 
 You ought to give me wedding rings
