DIARY - Bread
Intro:
Dadd11/G - F/G - Cadd9/C - G5
Dadd11/G F/G
I found her diary under- neath the tree
Cadd9/C G5
and started reading a- bout me
Dadd11/G F/G
The words she'd written took me by sur- prise;
Cadd9/C G5
You'd never read them in her eyes.
G*** Gm6/C# Em6/Bb G*
They said that she had found
D7 B7 Em G7
the love she'd waited for
C G5
Wouldn't you know it?
C G
She wouldn't show it
Dadd11/G F/G
Then she, confronted with the writing there,
Cadd9/C G5
simply pretended not to care
Dadd11/G F/G
I passed it off as just in keeping with
Cadd9/C G5
her total disconcerting air.
G*** Gm6/C# Em6/Bb G*
And though she tried to hide
D7 B7 Em G7
the love that she de- nied
C G5
Wouldn't you know it?
C G
She wouldn't show it

And as I go through my life
Am7 D7 G
I will give to her, my wife

All the sweet things I can find.
Dadd11/G F/G
I found her diary under- neath the tree
Cadd9/C G5
and started reading a- bout me
Dadd11/G F/G
The words began to stick, then tears to fall.
Cadd9/C G5
Her meaning now was clear to see
G*** Gm6/C# Em6/Bb G*
The love she’d waited for
D7 B7 Em G7
was someone else, not me.
C G5
Wouldn't you know it?
C G
She wouldn't show it

I will wish for her, his wife

All the sweet things she can find

All the sweet things they can find.//
