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.
