1.     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.

2.      It was cold outside of my door,

           Dm   - F   Bb                    A

    so many       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.

+  They don't know what they're playing,

                       Bb                                          F

    no, they've no way of knowing what the game is.

                    Am          Bb                      G 

    Still, they carry on doing what they can.

          Dm                        F                G

    Outside me, yours politely, dear diary.

3.      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.

    Dm           F      - Bb                            - A

+        Dear diary,        it was cold today.

Dm                                  F

    A bit of sun came out later,

                     Bb                                                          A

    so, I went out, and strolled about looking at the shops.

Dm                                            F                       Bb                 - A

     Didn't really see anything I liked, 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 ....
