| 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 |
