[Verse 1]
G         C      
 The book of love 
    D        G
is long and boring
G       C            D   
 No one can lift the damn
      G
 thing
G          C       
 It's full of charts 
      D         G
and facts and figures
G      C              D       G
 And instructions for dancing

[Chorus]
    G C D G G      C      
And I,      I love it when
     D       G
 you read to me
    G C D G G    C       
And you,     you can read
    D  G
 me anything

[Verse 2]
G         C          
 The book of love has
 D     G
 music in it
G         C               
 In fact, it's where music 
 D     G
comes from
G        C          D       G
 Some of it is just transcendental
G        C          D      G
 Some of it is just really dumb

[Chorus]
    G C D G G      C      
But I,      I love it when 
     D       G
you sing to me
    G C D G G          C  
And you,     you could sing
      D G
 me anything

G            C       D   
 The book of love is long 
     G
and boring
G            C    D     G
 And written very long ago
G           C            
 It's full of flowers and
 D            G
 heart-shaped boxes
G           C            
 And things we're all too
 D        G
 young to know

[Chorus]

And I,      I love it when

you give me things
    G C D G G    C       
And you,     you ought to

 give me wedding rings

me wedding rings

How to play The Book Of Love: key, chords and progression

These are The Book Of Love chords by Olivia Rodrigo for Piano and Ukulele.

The Book Of Love by Olivia Rodrigo sits in G major (one sharp: F♯), and you need 3 chords to play it: G, C and D.

The progression the song keeps returning to is G – C – D – G (I – IV – V – I in G major), the I–IV–V–I, the backbone of gospel, blues and folk. In solfa, that is doh – fah – soh – doh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Beginner-friendly: on guitar every chord is an open shape, which makes this a good song to learn early on.
