[Verse 1]
 
C                      Fsus/C         F/C                          C
I found her diary underneath the tree and started reading about me
C                      Fsus/C         F/C                                 C
The words she'd written took me by surprise; you'd never read them in her eyes.
Adim7          C                 G7         G#dim7   Am  C7
They said that she had found the love she'd waited for
F            C        F            C
Wouldn't you know it? She wouldn't show it
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C                             Fsus/C         F/C                          C
Then she, confronted with the writing there, simply pretended not to care
C                          Fsus/C       F/C                          C
I passed it off as just in keeping with her total disconcerting air.
Adim7          C                 G7        G#dim7  Am Gm7 C7
And though she tried to hide the love that she denied
F            C        F            C
Wouldn't you know it? She wouldn't show it.
 
 
{ CHORUS }
 
G7  G#dim7 Am   C7         F
    And as I go through my life
    Dm7    G7              C
    I will give to her, my wife
            F                  E7sus4
    All the sweet things I can find.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
C                      Fsus/C         F/C
I found her diary underneath the tree and started reading about me
C                            A#/C           F/C
The words began to stick and tears to flow. Her meaning now was clear to see
Adim7          C              G7      G#dim7    Am  C7
The love she'd waited for was someone else, not me.
F            C        F            C
Wouldn't you know it? She wouldn't show it.
 
 
{ CHORUS }
 
G7  G#dim7 Am   C7         F
    And as I go through my life
    Dm7    G7                C
    I will wish for her, his wife
            F                    C
    All the sweet things she can find
            F            F/G      C
    All the sweet things they can find.
