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.
