Verse 1

How does her world spin...  
...Without me in her nest?  
Could there really be such happi - ness?
Bm7 A/C# Bm7 Bm7 * Bm7
Oh, she's got a dark side too,
A Bm7 A/C# Bm7 Bm7 * Bm7
Even murderous,
But I love that, just like her

Chorus

I don't have a chance at writing the book,
I just want to be a page in Jeannie's diary,  
One single page ...in Jeannie's diary  

Verse 2

Yes, I am intense,  
Maybe quite obsessed,  
Every - thing she does is cu - ri - ous,
Bm7 A/C# Bm7 Bm7 * Bm7
Oh, she's going to let me in,
A Bm7 A/C# Bm7 Bm7 * Bm7
I just know it's so,
Then a - gain, who do I kid? 

Chorus

I don't have a chance at writing the book,
I just want to be a page in Jeannie's diary,  
One single page ...in Jeannie's diary  
Oo---hoo, oo, hoo!  

Verse 3

She could have anything she wants, so why not me?
She could have anything she dreams,
Oh, to be one single page, 
One single page in Jeannie's diary
