Biography:
American singer-songwriter Dar Williams lives at the intersection of pop and folk. She fuses many genres (blues, rock, jazz), resulting in a rather organic sound. She has been making music for over a decade.
Her studio album My Better Self finds Dar at an unequivocally brazen crossroads. Reflecting on American politics, the disillusionment and apathy of youth, and the female experience, Dar makes no apology for her outspoken beliefs.
Her 2008 album, entitled Promised Land.

Dar Williams - Book Of Love
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
Is the book of love
