	       B   F# B         F#   B   F#
I looked in my diary, no spaces today,
B      F# B       F# B                   F# B                      B  
A life so eventful, stacked with appointments too important to break,
	     E                  F#
Lunch at the bistro, tea at the Savoy café,
B           F# B            F# B   
No time to contemplate the isolation,
B          F# B             B
No second can be wasted, no space to think because,
E                    F#              B F#
My diary is full but my life is empty.
B          E                    F#            B F# B
Oh yes, my diary is full but my life is empty.

(Key change to E)

F# E

E                
It's all so contemporary, the sheer pretension of it,
E
All so temporary, but all too shallow really,
B                               A   
Let me look, I might be able to squeeze you in between,
       E
No, my diary is so full I couldn't possibly meet you today,
E
This evening is blocked out with potential investors in my lonely one-man play,
E            B                                A
Perhaps next week maybe when there are fewer functions to attend,
B
So for now I'll pencil you in, 
E
Between the visit to my doctor, my appointment at the bank,
E
This time it's really crucial, that's why it's written in red,
E
My diary is my life and my life is standing on my head,
A                           B      E
Oh my diary is full but my life is empty,
	  A                 B
Oh yes my diary is full but my life...

B
I look at your picture on my bedroom wall,
B
I'm trying to forget you, that's why my diary is so full,
B                     E        F#                B
Chock-a-block with engagements but it's only for show,
           F#          
'Cause I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go,
B                  F# B
To stop my isolation, keep myself occupied,
B                     F# B
My diary is my one salvation,
B                             E                 F#         
Names, dates, numbers, but inside I long to cancel all those entries,
   C#m               F#           G#m
My diary is full but my life's empty,
   F#                                 
My diary is full but my life is empty.
