Verse:
Em C
Your love is the strongest thing I know
I reckon it's been doing weights
G
Eating raw eggs and cereal
D
And running ten miles a day
Em
And your love has a driving ban
C
From tryin' to steer intoxicated with another love inside your hands
G
And your love is a friend of mine
D
So I'll take good care tonight
Pre-chorus:
Em
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
G
But I know your love
D
That's why
Chorus:
Em
I can be your diary
C
Baby if you open me up
G
Keep it inside me
D
I'll give you the world, just give me the words (x2)
Verse:
Em
And your love, has never been my enemy
C
It used to hold me and promise it would never leave
G (one strum)
Never been better since all the therapy
D
To read the words between the lines and take away my melody
Em C
And your love told me it was fallin' through a different page
G
And you know if I let you go
D
I'll still keep you safe
Pre-chorus:
Em
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
G
But I know your love
D
That's why
Chorus:
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/e/ed_sheeran/diary_crd_ver_2.html ]
Em
I can be your diary
C
Baby if you open me up
G
Keep it inside me
D
I'll give you the world, just give me the words (x2)
Verse:
Em
You are the one I fall asleep with
But never wake up to
C
Cos work is something you must do
G
I trust you like you trust me
This must be true love
D
It does exactly what it says on the tin, let me begin
Em
You are the one I watch the movies with
C
And recognising my love for Keira Knightley for what it truly is
G
It's just an excuse so I don't have to watch Love Actually again
D
But we're actually the same it's just despite me
Em
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
G
I tried to make tea once for you in bed
D
But all I did was spill it so you made it for me instead
Em C
Let me in bed if you get in ahead me it's better to do
Yeah love is a hell of a truth
G
And in love we are better in two
I've been a newcomer
D
So I can never see the devil in you
Chorus:
Em
Diary
C
Baby if you open me up
G
Keep it inside me
D
I'll give you the world, just give me the words, hey
That's it, pretty basic song. You can move the capo around to suit your voice,
capo on 5 works well. Enjoy!
