[Verse 1]
 
G                      Csus/G         C/G                          G
I found her diary underneath the tree and started reading about me
G                      Csus/G         C/G                                 G
The words she'd written took me by surprise; you'd never read them in her eyes.
Edim7          G                 D7         D#dim7   Em  G7
They 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
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G                             Csus/G         C/G                          G
Then she, confronted with the writing there, simply pretended not to care
G                          Csus/G       C/G                          G
I passed it off as just in keeping with her total disconcerting air.
Edim7          G                 D7        D#dim7  Em Dm7 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.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D7  D#dim7 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.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
G                      Csus/G         C/G
I found her diary underneath the tree and started reading about me
G                            F/G            C/G
The words began to stick and tears to flow. Her meaning now was clear to see
Edim7          G              D7      D#dim7    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.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D7  D#dim7 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            C/D      G
    All the sweet things they can find.
