G G11 C/G
I found her diary underneath the tree and started reading about me
G G11 C/G
The words she^?d written took me by surprise; you^?d never read them in
her eyes.
Edim7 G D7 B7 Em G7
She said that she had found the love she^?d waited for
C G C G
Wouldn^?t you know it? She wouldn^?t show it

G G11 C/G
Then she, confronted with the writing there, simply pretended not to
care
G G11 C/G
I passed it off as just in keeping with her total disconcerting air.
Edim7 G D7 B7 Em G7
And though she tried to hide the love that she denied
C G C G
Wouldn^?t you know it? She wouldn^?t show it.
D7 B7 Em G7 C
And as I go through my life
Am7 D7 G
I will give to her, my wife
C B7sus4
All the sweet things I can find.

G G11 C/G
I found her diary underneath the tree and started reading about me
G G11 C/G
The words began to stick, then tears to fall. Her meaning now was clear
to see
Edim7 G D7 B7 Em G7
The love she^?d waited for was someone else, not me.
C G C G
Wouldn^?t you know it? She wouldn^?t show it.
D7 B7 Em G7 C
And as I go through my life
Am7 D7 G
I will wish for her, his wife
C G
All the sweet things she can find
C D11 G
All the sweet things she can find.
