[Verse]
Am   E    F
Oh dear diary
Am    E                 F                   
You didn't hear it from me
Dm     C      E                F   
But I know I know something I shouldn't know
    C          E              F
And you're the only one I can tell

[Verse]
Am     E          F
I'll write it in code
Am     E           F                   
Cause if somebody showed
Dm     C      E                     F   
You around I'm bound to lose every friend
     C            E             F
And what am I supposed to do then

[Chorus]
G    
They must not see
(Must not see)
G                D
You, oh dear diary
F                                       C   
You're the secret I must keep at any cost

G
If they read
(If they read)
G                D
The painful poetry
F
And they find out that I feel
F              C        G
All will be lost

[Verse]
Am   E    F
I'm trying to make sense
Am   E    F
Feelings so intense
Dm     C      E                     F   
It's hard to cut the dramatics whenever you're young
 C            E                 F
I'm writing every word of it down

[Verse]
Am      E          F
You'd know what I mean
Am      E          F
If you could have seen
Dm            C         E
It was like a coincidence
      F 
Only turned on its head
 C          E               F
It took me twenty pages to tell

[Chorus]
G
If they see
(If they see)
G               D
You, oh dear diary
F                                    C   
I'm a liar that's expected in your youth
G
They can't know
(They can't know)
G         D
That I feel and so
             F                                  C   
You'll be on fire and they'll never know the truth

[Verse]
C    G    F
Oh, dear diary
C    G    F
Your secret's safe with me
Dm     C      E                     F   
If you're found on the grounds of the school, I'll be dead
     C            E                        F
I'll hear them chanting off with his head

[Verse]
Am   E    F
Oh dear diary
Am   E    F
You didn't hear it from me
Dm     C      E                     F   
But I know I know something I shouldn't know
     C            E                        F
And you're the only one I can tell
