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.
