Sloan - Oh Dear Diary

[Intro]
Am E F
Am E F Dm
C E F
C E F

[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
