He sometimes leaves out the C and just mutes the strings, but it sounds good either way :) Chords:

Verse:

Am                                    
Your love is the strongest thing I know

C
I reckon it's been doing weights

F
Eating raw eggs and cereal

 G   
And running ten miles Amday

           Am
And your love has a driving ban

             C
From tryin' to steer intoxicated with another love inside your hands

           F
And your love is Amfriend of mine

           G
So I'll take good care tonight

Pre-chorus:

Am
If you could only say the words

I'll take em and I'll write em down

C
And hold it deep inside of me

Until the day you found me out

F 
But I know your love

G
That's why

Chorus:

  Am
I can be your diary

            C
Baby if you open me up

         F
Keep it inside me

                    G
I'll give you the world, just give me the words (x2)

Verse:

              Am                                    
And your love, has never been my enemy

C
It used to hold me and promise it would never leave

F (one strum) Never been better since all the therapy G (one strum) To read the words between the lines and take away my melody

Am                 C
And your love told me it was fallin' through Amdifferent page

F               
And you know if I let you go

G
I'll still keep you safe

Pre-chorus:

Am
If you could only say the words

I'll take em and I'll write em down

C
And hold it deep inside of me

Until the day you found me out

F 
But I know your love

G
That's why

Chorus:

  Am
I can be your diary

            C
Baby if you open me up

        F
Keep it inside me

                    G
I'll give you the world, just give me the words (x2)

Verse:

Am
You are the one I fall asleep with

But never wake up to

C
Cos work is something you must do

          F
I trust you like you trust me

This must be true love

           G
It does exactly what it says on the tin, let me begin

                Am
You are the one I watch the movies with

                            C
And recognising my love for KeirAmKnightley for what it truly is

                    F
It's just an excuse so I don't have to watch Love Actually again

                                      G
But we're actually the same it's just to spite me

           Am
And we eat ice cream with fishes in it

Until the dishes finish

C
Play computer games although I know I'll never win it

                F
I tried to make teAmonce for you in bed

                  G
But all I did was spill it so you made it for me instead

Am                                        C
Let me in bed if you get in ahead me it's better to do

Yeah love is Amhell of Amtruth

       F
And in love we are better in two

I've been A new-comer

G
So I can never see the devil in you

            C
Baby if you open me up

I'll give you the world, just give me the words (x2) ... hey
