[Verse]
Ab        Abmaj7
All of the books
Ab        Abmaj7
On my shelf are unread
Ab        Abmaj7
I keep them there
Ab        Abmaj7
So that they will impress
        Bbm    Eb7
When you come to stay
        Bbm    Eb7
You'll be swept away

        Ab              Abmaj7
As you thumb through the spines
      Ab             Abmaj7
I'm sure that you'll be mine
          Ab        Abmaj7
When your eyes rest upon
Ab        Abmaj7
Miranda DuLisle
              Bbm      Eb7
She's a fiery way with words
   Bbm        Eb7            
Or so you have heard from your 
   Ab    Abmaj7   Ab    Abmaj7
friends




[Chorus]
Bbm                Fm
And, what will you do
Bbm                 Fm
With those hopeless two
Bbm      Cm            Db        
Both pretending to be literature 
  Eb       Ab6    Db
lovers instead

[Verse 2]
          Ab             Abmaj7
They can print a thousand pages
         Ab              Abmaj7
All the paper filled with words
      Ab             Abmaj7
And a multitude of metaphors
     Ab             Abmaj7
That I have never heard
       Bbm             Eb7
Makes no difference to me
        Bbm            Eb7     
In the end, well, I'll say "I've 
            Ab   Abmaj7
read it all"

            Ab             Abmaj7
But as the weight of these words
          Ab          Abmaj7
Start to settle in my mind
          Ab             Abmaj7
I'll never wait for a person
     Ab      Abmaj7
To genuinely find
          Bbm           Eb7
Something deep inside myself
          Bbm                Eb7  
Something more than just the books
         Ab   Abmaj7   Ab   Abmaj7
 on my shelf



[Chorus 2]
Bbm                Fm
And, what will you do
Bbm                 Fm
With those hopeless two
Bbm      Cm            Db        
Both pretending to be literature 
  Eb       Ab6    Db
lovers instead



[Verse 3]
Ab        Abmaj7
All of the books
Ab        Abmaj7
On my shelf are unread
Ab        Abmaj7
I keep them there
Ab        Abmaj7
So that they will impress
        Bbm    Eb7
When you come to stay
        Bbm    Eb7
You'll be swept away

    Ab            Abmaj7
And me, I am just like
    Ab          Abmaj7
The books on my shelf
         Ab            Abmaj7
You have never read my cover
        Ab         Abmaj7
I have never read myself
            Bbm       Eb7
There are words to be saved, and
  Bbm    Eb7       Ab   Abmaj7
Words to be erased


[Last Chorus]
Bbm                Fm
And, what will you do
Bbm                 Fm
With those hopeless two
Bbm      Cm            Db        
Both pretending to be literature 
  Eb       Ab6    Db
lovers instead
Bbm      Cm            Db        
Both pretending to be literature 
  Eb       Ab6    Db   Ab
lovers instead
