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         Edim7     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        Edim7    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  Edim7    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      Edim7        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  Edim7    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 they can find.
