Intro
E Asus/E A/E E
I found her diary underneath the tree and started reading about me
E Asus/E A/E E
The words she'd written took me by surprise; you'd never read them in her eyes.
Edim7 E B7 D#dim7 C#m E7
She said that she had found the love she'd waited for
A E A E
Wouldn't you know it? She wouldn't show it
[Verse]
E Asus/E A/E E
Then she, confronted with the writing there, simply pretended not to care
E Asus/E A/E E
I passed it off as just in keeping with her total disconcerting air.
Edim7 E B7 D#dim7 C#m Bm7 E7
And though she tried to hide the love that she denied
A E A E
Wouldn't you know it? She wouldn't show it.
[Chorus]
B7 D#dim7 C#m E7 A
And as I go through my life
F#m7 B7 E
I will give to her, my wife
A B7sus4
All the sweet things I can find.

I found her diary underneath the tree and started reading about me

The words began to stick, then tears to fall. Her meaning now was clear to see
Edim7 E B7 D#dim7 C#m E7
The love she'd waited for was someone else, not me.
A E A E
Wouldn't you know it? She wouldn't show it.
[Chorus]
B7 D#dim7 C#m E7 A
And as I go through my life
F#m7 B7 E
I will wish for her, his wife

All the sweet things she can find
A A/B E
All the sweet things they can find.
