Gm                      C4/G         C/G                       G 
I found her diary underneath the tree ... and started reading about me 
G                               C4/G        C/G 
The words she'd written took me by surprise  ...  You'd never read them in her eyes. 
E°            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 

Gm                               C4/G         C/G                       G 
Then she, confronted with the writing there, simply pretended not to care 
Gm                           C4/G            C/G                 G 
I passed it off as just in keeping with her total disconcerting air. 
E°               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                  B7 
All the sweet things I can find. 

Gm                               C4/G    C/G                  G 
I found her diary underneath the tree    and started reading about me 
Gm                             C4/G         C/G                             G 
The words began to stick, then tears to fall. Her meaning now was clear to see 
E°                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.
