Verse 1
Dear diary, what a day it's been,
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
It was cold out - side of my door,
So many ...people by the score,

Rushing a - round, so senseless - ly,
Dm F E7/G# A7 N.C.
They don't notice, there's people like me,

Write lightly, yours truly, dear diary

Verse 3
It's over, will to - morrow be the same?
I know that ...they're really not to blame,

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,
Dm F G N.C.
In - side me, yours truly, dear diary

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