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.

Bb F
+ They don't know what
they're playing,
Bb F
no,
they've no way of knowing what the game is.

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.

+ 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 ....
