Intro
Gm  Dm  Csus2 
 
Verse 1
Gm                   Dm 
Right, right at the start 
                  Csus2 
You put this into words 
 
How you think we should proceed, yeah 
Gm             Dm 
You wanted me alone 
                              Csus2 
With the pictures that you've seen of where you haven't been but where you want to go 
 
Pre-Chorus 1
Gm                       Dm 
Ask the leaf and ask the bird 
                       Csus2 
Not to sing or speak a word, we are not fictitious characters but we don't belong to this world 
 
Chorus
Dm        C 
The book, the book of your heart 
Gm             F 
One tiny mark, an entry 
Dm 
In the book of your heart 
C 
It's written on skin 
Gm 
To even be in 
F 
The book of your heart 
 
Instrumental
Gm  Dm  Csus2 
 
Verse 2
Gm                  Dm 
You can change your name, 
                Csus2 
Or even who you are, that's the beauty of the scar, that is the contract of the heart 
 
Pre-Chorus 2
Gm                  Dm 
This is our wedding day 
                               Csus2 
This is the promise that we'll stay through the long descriptive passages where we don't know what to say 
 
Chorus
Dm        C 
The book, the book of your heart 
Gm             F 
One tiny mark, an entry 
Dm 
In the book of your heart 
C 
It's written on skin 
Gm 
To even be in 
F 
The book of your heart 
 
Solo
Dm  A  C  G  Bb  A 
 
Outro
Dm                  A 
Babe I don't belong to you 
C                         G 
Love is what we choose to do 
Bb                       A 
Babe you don't belong to me 
               Dm 
It's not that easy
