Dm        F/C     Bb              A
     Dear diary,  what a day it's been,
     Dm     F/C       Bb               A
Dear diary,      it's been just like a dream,
Dm          F            E7/G#               A7   N.C.
Woke up too late, wasn't where I should have been,
Dm           F            E7/G#        A7   N.C.
For goodness sake, what's happening to me?
      Dm             F           G     N.C.
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary

[Verse 2]
Dm          F/C        Bb         A
     It was cold out - side of my door,
   Dm   F/C    Bb            A
So many     ...people by the score,
Dm          F         E7/G#       A7  N.C.
Rushing a - round, so senseless - ly,
Dm         F               E7/G#       A7  N.C.
They don't notice, there's people like me,
      Dm             F           G     N.C.
Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary

Bb                           F
They don't know what they're playing,

No, they've no way of knowing what the game is,
            Am          Bb7             G   N.C.
Still, they carry on ...doing what they can,
      Dm                  F            G     N.C.
Out - side me, yours po - litely, dear diary

     It's over, will to - morrow be the same?
  Dm         F/C          Bb            A
I know that    ...they're really not to blame,
   Dm               F          E7/G#         A7  N.C.
If they weren't so blind, then surely they'd see...
          Dm          F        E7/G#   A7  N.C.
There's a much better way, for them to be,

[Coda]
Dm  F/C              Bb                     A
         Dear diary,  ...it was cold today,
Dm                         F/C
     A bit of sun came out later,
           Bb                                      A
So, I went out, and strolled about looking at the shops,
Dm                                F/C
     Didn't really see anything I liked,
Bb                               A
     So I didn't buy anything,
Dm  F/C                    Bb                A
         On the way home I posted a letter,
Dm        F/C                Bb    A
     Been quite a nice day,
Dm                        F/C           Bb   A
     Somebody exploded an H-bomb today,
                      Dm
But it wasn't anybody I knew
