Verse 1 
 
G 
I new a girl 
Am 
Her name was truth 
Bm        Am       G     G 
She was a horrible lair 
G                  Am 
She couldn?t spend one day alone 
Bm        Am            G     G 
But she couldn?t be satisfied 
G            Am 
When you have everything 
Bm          Am          G     G 
You have everything to lose 
G                Am 
She made herself a bed of nails 
Bm             Am                    G     G 
And she?s planning on putting it to use

Verse 2 (1:15 2:03) 
 
G                                     Am 
A candle throws its light into the darkness 
Bm                Am                G     G 
In a nasty world so shines a good deed 
G                      Am 
Make sure the fortune that you seek 
Bm       Am               G     G 
Is the fortune that you need 
 
G               Am 
Tell me why the first to ask 
Bm              Am          G     G 
Is the last to give every time 
G                Am 
What you say and do not mean 
Bm         Am       G     G 
Follows you close behind 
 
Chorus 
 
F          C              G 
She had diamonds on the inside 
F          C              G 
She had diamonds on the inside 
F           C              G 
She wore diamonds on the inside 
F  C  G  F  C  G 
Diamonds diamonds

Verse 3 
 
G                                  Am 
Like the soldier long standing under fire 
Bm          Am          G     G 
Any change comes as a relief 
G                             Am 
Let the givers name remain unspoken 
Bm           Am          G     G 
She is just a generous thief

   F           C         G 
She had diamonds on the inside 
   F           C         G 
She had diamonds on the inside 
   F            C          G 
She wore diamonds on the inside 
   F    C    G 
She wore diamonds 
  F  C   G 
Oh diamonds 
   F     C    G 
She had diamonds 
   F     C     G 
She wore diamonds 
F  C  G 
Diamonds
