[Chorus]
N.C.
Oh, I promise I didn't know he was your man
N.C.
I would have noticed a gold wedding band
N.C.
Diane
N.C.
I'd rather you hate me than not understand
N.C.
Oh, Diane

[Verse 1]
E
You pick the time and the place
                A    E    B
Don't know how much this hurts

I gave him my heart to break
                      C#m        A B
Now I know he broke yours first
E
Lyin' right there in my bed
               A   E   B
While he was lying to you

Believing the words that he said
                       E     E E/D#
How could we be such fools?

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m             B               A        E
And all those nights that he's given to me
  C#m               B                   A
I wish that I could give them back to you

[Chorus]
E
Diane
                                    B
I promise I didn't know he was your man
                                    A
I would have noticed a gold wedding band
E
Diane
      A          E          B    C#m
I'd rather you hate me than not understand
B   A     C#m B
Oh, Diane

[Verse 2]
E
You can blame me if it helps
               A   E          B
That's what a good wife would do

But you're only cheating yourself
                         E     E E/D#
Choosing him over the truth

[Pre-Chorus]
C#m            B                 A       E
And all those nights that he's given to me
C#m                  B                  A    B
I wish that I could give them back to you

[Chorus]
E
Diane
                                    B
I promise I didn't know he was your man
                                    A
I would have noticed a gold wedding band
E
Diane
      A          E          B    C#m
I'd rather you hate me than not understand
B   A      C#m B
Oh, Diane

E B C#m A E B C#m

[Bridge]
E    C#m
Oh, woah
B       A
Diane, Diane
E   C#m
Oh, woah

A                  E             B    C#m
Oh, I'd rather you hate me than not understand
B     A
Oh, Diane

[Outro]
C#m            B                 A       E
And all those nights that he's given to me
C#m                  B                  A
I wish that I could give them back to you
