[Intro] Dm / F / Bb / A / Dm / F / Bb / A / [Verse 1]
Dm       F     Bb              A
  Dear diary, what a day it's been

Dm       F     Bb                 A
  Dear diary, it's been just like a dream

  Dm          F             E                  A
Woke up too late, wasn't where I should have been

Dm            F            E            A
For goodness sake, what's happening to me

       Dm              F           G
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary
Dm / F / Bb / A / Dm / F / Bb / A / [Verse 2]
Dm       F     Bb            A
  It was cold outside my door

Dm       F     Bb             A
  So may, people by the score

Dm          F             E         A
     Rushing around, so senselessly

Dm          F             E                  A
     They don't notice, there's people like me

       Dm              F           G
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary
Dm / F / Bb / A / Dm / F / Bb / A / [Bridge]
 Bb                            F
They don't know what they're playing

           Bb                          F
No they've no way of knowing what the game is

         Am      Bb               G
So they carry on doing what they can

    Dm             F             G
Outside me, and politely, dear diary
[Instrumental] Dm / F / Bb / A / Dm / F / Bb / A / Dm / F / E / A / Dm / F / E / A / Dm F G [Verse 3]
Dm       F     Bb              A
  It's over, will tomorrow be the same

Dm       F     Bb              A
  I know that, they're really not to blame

Dm          F             E                  A
  If they weren't so blind, then surely they'd see

Dm          F             E                  A
  There's a much better way, for them to be

       Dm              F           G
Inside me, yours truly, dear diary
[Instrumental] Dm / F / Bb / A / Dm / F / Bb / A / [Bridge]
 Bb                            F
They don't know what they're playing

           Bb                          F
No they've no way of knowing what the game is

         Am      Bb               G
So they carry on doing what they can

    Dm             F             G
Outside me, and politely, dear diary
Dm / F / Bb / A / Dm / F / Bb / A / (Talking and fading)
Dm  F       Bb                 A
  Dear diary, it was cold today

Dm                     F
  Bit of sun came out later

          Bb
So I went out and strolled about

                 A
looking at the shops

Dm                       F
  Didn't really see anything I liked,

Bb                      A
so I didn't buy anything

Dm  F                   Bb            A
     On the way home I posted a letter

Dm       F              Bb   A
  Been quite a nice day
