[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.
