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
