[B] [G] I knew a girl, [Am] her name was truth, [B] she [Am] was a [G] horrible liar.
She couldn't spend, [Am] oh one day alone, [Bm] but she couldn't be, [Am] couldn't be [G] satisfied.
Cause when you have [Am] everything, [Bm] you have [Am] everything [G] to lose.
She made herself [Am] a bed of nails, and [Bm] she's planning [Am] on putting it, [G] putting it to use.
She [F] had [C] diamonds on [G] the inside, she [F] had diamonds [C] on [G] the inside.
You [F] have diamonds [C] on [G] the inside, [F] oh [C] diamonds.
[G] A candle throws its light into [Am] the darkness.
[Bm] In a nasty world, [Am] so shines [G] the good deed.
Make sure the fortune, [Am] the fortune that you seek, [Bm] is the fortune [Am] that [G] had you need.
Now tell me why, [Am] why the first to ask, [Bm] is the last one [Am] to give.
[G] Every time, what you say [Am] and do not mean, [Bb] [Bm] follows [Am] you [G] close behind.
She [F] wore [C] diamonds on [G] the inside, she [F] wore [C] diamonds on [G] the inside.
She [F] wore diamonds [C] on [G] the inside, [F] oh [C]
[G] diamonds.
Before [F] I die, [C] I'm [G] all alone on the [D] inside.

[E] [Em] [C] [D]
[Em] [C] [D]
[Em] [C]
[D] [Eb] Like a soldier long standing on [Am] the fire, [Bm] any change [Am] comes as [G] a relief.
Let the giver's name remain [Am] unspoken.
[Bm] She is just [Am] a general [G] piece.
[F] She had [C] diamonds on [G] the inside, she [F] wore [C] diamonds on [G] the inside.
Oh you [F] have [C] diamonds on [G] the inside, [F] oh [C]
[G] diamonds.
[F] [C] Oh [G] diamonds, [F] oh [C] diamonds.
[G] She [F] wore diamonds, [C] oh she [G] wore diamonds [F] on the [C]
inside.
[G] [N]
