[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
[Chorus]

[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
