By the Book Michael Peterson
[D]As I slowly t[A]urn the pages [Bm]I see all these s[D]miling faces
[G]It's hard to be-li[D]eve it was to[A]day ten years a-[A7]go
[D]Here is the inv[D]itation [Bm]To our wedding cel[D]ebration
[G]Just look at the promise that these pictures sh[A]ow I know
If I had lo[G]ved her by the bo[D]ok
She would be r[Bm]ight here [A]by my s[D]ide
[D]The fool that I [G]am
I overlo[D]oked my promist to l[Bm]ove her forever
[Bm]For worst or for better
[Bm]We'd still be together If I had lo[Em]ved her [A]by the b[D]ook
[D]If I opened this b[A]ook more often [Bm]I wouldn't ha[D]ve forgotten
[G]How much she ca[D]red and how much I me[A]ant my solomn v[A7]ows
[D]To honor To ha[A]ve and hold her [Bm]But as I r[D]ead them over
[G]I know it's too late to say I'm sorry n[A]ow Somehow
[G]If I had loved he[D]r by the book
She would be r[Bm]ight here [A]by my s[D]ide
[D]The fool that I [G]am
I overlo[D]oked my promist to l[Bm]ove her forever
[Bm]For worst or for better
[Bm]We'd still be together If I had lo[Em]ved her
[G]If I had loved he[D]r by the book
She would be r[Bm]ight here [A]by my s[D]ide
[D]The fool that I [G]am
I overlo[D]oked my promist to l[Bm]ove her forever
[Bm]For worst or for better
[Bm]We'd still be together If I had lo[Em]ved her [A]by the b[D]ook
If I had lo[Em]ved her b[A]y the b[D]ook
