G# I knew a girl A#m Her name was truth Cm A#m G# She was a horrible liar. G# She couldnt spend A#m one day alone Cm A#m G# But she couldnt be satisfied. G# When you have A#m everything, Cm A#m G# You have everything to lose. G# She made herself A#m A bed of nails Cm A#m G# And shes plannin' on puttin' it to use. F# C# G# Cos she had diamonds on the inside F# C# G# She had diamonds on the inside F# C# G# She had diamonds on the inside F# C# G# Di-a-monds G# A#m A candle throws its light into the darkness Cm A#m G# In a nasty world,so shines the good deed A#m Make sure the fortune, that you seek Cm A#m G# Is the fortune that you need. A#m Cm A#m G# So tell me why,the first to ask,is the last to give,everytime A#m What you say and do not mean Cm A#m G# Follow too close behind F# C# G# Cos 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# Di-a-monds F# C# G# Di-a-monds G# A#m Like a soldier standing long under fire Cm A#m G# Any change comes as a relief.
