Intro: C Bm C G 


C                      Bm 
This a page from my diary 
C                    G 
The fifteen day of November 
C                     Bm  
This a page from my diary  
C                   
What happened that day 
            G 
I don't remember 
F                   C 
But I do remember when 
                         Em 
I wrote these words and then 
           G 
And then reread them 
C 
Slowly to myself 
           G 
Without emotion 

       Em                   C 
And although the feelings changed 
                           Em   
The words still sound the same 
    Am 
O Pamela 
        Em 
Tell everyone 
          A 
Hang my head in shame 
           Em 
Take your name in vain 
     Am 
O Pamela 
     Em       
O Pamela 

C      

   Bm 
I have no soul 
C                  
I'm as cold as December 
         G 
Maybe twice as cold 
C 
And I'm as white as the snow 
               Bm 
Because of my age 
       C 
But my hand was shaking 
                 G 
As I wrote this page 
   Em                       C   
And although the feelings changed 
                           Em 
The words still sound the same 
    Am 
O Pamela 
        Em 
Tell everyone 
         A 
Hang my head in shame 
          Em 
Take your name in vain 
     Am 
O Pamela 
               Em 
O Pamela you have everything 
                A 
Everything you bargained for 
                Em 
Everything you worked for 
                           Am 
Everything you would have killed for 
       Em 
Take everything 
          C 
Open the door 
              Bm 
I'll let the rain pour in 
C 
And first thing in the morning 
        G 
The telephone rings 
C         
Pamela says 
                Bm 
'Oh look at the time' 
 C                                G 
Believe me, that's the last thing on my mind 
C                                   Bm 
Will you take a walk with me in the sunshine 
    C                 G 
O Pamela, before it's too late 
C                              Bm 
Will you take a walk with me by the ocean 
C                          G 
O Pamela, before it's too late
