G
I new a girl
Am
Her name was truth
Bm        Am       G     Gsus4
She was a horrible lair
G                  Am
She couldn’t spend one day alone
Bm        Am            G     Gsus2
But she couldn’t be satisfied
G            Am
When you have everything
Bm          Am          G     Gsus4
You have everything to lose
G                Am
She made herself a bed of nails
Bm             Am                    G     Gsus2
And she’s planning on putting it to use

Chorus 

         F           C         G
But she had diamonds on the inside
F          C               G
She had diamonds on the inside

She had diamonds on the inside

Verse 2 
G                                     Am
A candle throws its light into the darkness
Bm                Am                G     Gsus4
In a nasty world so shines a good deed
G                      Am
Make sure the fortune that you seek
Bm       Am               G     Gsus2
Is the fortune that you need

G               Am
Tell me why the first to ask
Bm              Am          G     Gsus4
Is the last to give every time
G                Am
What you say and do not mean
Bm         Am       G     Gsus2
Follows you close behind

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
