This is almost exactly how he played it live for the first time, acoustic version.

He sometimes leaves out the C and just mutes the strings, but it sounds good either way :)

Verse:
Am                                     
Your love is the strongest thing I know
C
I reckon it's been doing weights
F
Eating raw eggs and cereal
 G   
And running ten miles a day

           Am
And your love has a driving ban
             C
From tryin' to steer intoxicated with another love inside your hands
           F
And your love is a friend of mine
           G
So I'll take good care tonight




Pre-chorus:
Am
If you could only say the words 

I'll take em and I'll write em down
C
And hold it deep inside of me

Until the day you found me out
F 
But I know your love
G
That's why




Chorus:

  Am
I can be your diary
            C
Baby if you open me up
         F
Keep it inside me
                    G
I'll give you the world, just give me the words (x2)





Verse:
              Am                                     
And your love, has never been my enemy
C
It used to hold me and promise it would never leave
F (one strum)
Never been better since all the therapy
    G (one strum)  
To read the words between the lines and take away my melody
Am                 C
And your love told me it was fallin' through a different page
F               
And you know if I let you go
G
I'll still keep you safe





Pre-chorus:

Am
If you could only say the words 

I'll take em and I'll write em down
C
And hold it deep inside of me

Until the day you found me out
F 
But I know your love
G
That's why


Chorus:

  Am
I can be your diary
            C
Baby if you open me up
        F
Keep it inside me
                    G
I'll give you the world, just give me the words (x2)




Verse:  
Am
You are the one I fall asleep with

But never wake up to
C
Cos work is something you must do
          F
I trust you like you trust me

This must be true love
           G
It does exactly what it says on the tin, let me begin
                Am
You are the one I watch the movies with
                            C
And recognising my love for Keira Knightley for what it truly is
                    F
It's just an excuse so I don't have to watch Love Actually again
                                      G
But we're actually the same it's just to spite me
           Am
And we eat ice cream with fishes in it

Until the dishes finish
C
Play computer games although I know I'll never win it
                F
I tried to make tea once for you in bed
                  G
But all I did was spill it so you made it for me instead
Am                                        C
Let me in bed if you get in ahead me it's better to do

Yeah love is a hell of a truth
       F
And in love we are better in two

I've been a newcomer
G
So I can never see the devil in you




Chorus:
Am
Diary
            C
Baby if you open me up
         F
Keep it inside me
                 G
I'll give you the world, just give me the words (x2) ... hey
