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.
G#                                 A#m 
Let the giver's name remain unspoken
     Cm    A#m               G#
For she is just a generous thief.


            F#       C#     G#
But she had diamonds on the inside
            F#       C#     G#
Cos she had diamonds on the inside
         F#       C#      G#  
She wore diamonds on the inside
         F# C# G#
She wore di-a-monds
   F# C# G# 
Oh di-a-monds
        F# C# G#
She had di-a-monds
         F# C# G#

F# C# G#
