The Book of Love (Merritt)

The book of love is long and boring
No one can lift the damn thing
It's full of charts and facts, and figures
and instructions for dancing
G C D G (4x) 
But I - - - 
I love it when you read to me
And you - - -
You can read me anything

The book of love has music in it
In fact that's where music comes from
Some of it's just transcendental
Some of it's just really dumb
G C D G :// G C D Em / G C D G
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

- lyrics & music by Stephin Merritt
