INTRO: Dm

                                              C           G 
Tell me what you see, is it close to what you dreamed?
            Dm              C         G
If I play a part can I be redeemed?
   Dm                             C               G
We pore through the passages from leather volumed shelves
         Dm                      C               G
But they only leave us wondering, can we find ourselves
               Dm
In the book of love?
C                 G
Oh, ooh, oh, ooh, oh
               Dm      C   G
In the book of love?


                Dm                C      G
Looking for the one, waiting on a day
                 Dm                       C         G
Countless dinner parties, all the games we play
Dm                           C              G
All for some processional, a solemn wedding vow
  Dm                              C            G
A picture in a picture frame that Beauty can allow
               Dm
In the book of love?
C                 G
Oh, ooh, oh, ooh, oh
               Dm        C   G
In the book of love?


INSTRUMENTAL:  F  Am  C  G   (3x)


BRIDGE:
    Dm                        C           G
And love becomes a temple and we begin to fear
        Dm                    C                  G
That an unfeeling oracle will say, “You did come near,
                        D7
But you are not welcome here.”


N.C.          Dm                          C        G
This is who I am, all the places that I've been
                   Dm                             C      G
The fondness and regret, every love that I've been in
    Dm                                  C                     G
And I've played all the characters, the fool, the friend, the wife
       Dm                             C           G
And no matter what the ending is, the story of my life


OUTRO:    (## repeat and fade to end ##)
                      Dm
       Is the book of love
       C                 G
       Oh, ooh, oh, ooh, oh
                      Dm        
       Is the book of love
       C                 G
       Oh, ooh, oh, ooh, oh
                      Dm
