        [Verse]
        G
        I knew a girl
        Am
        Her name was truth
        Bm              Am   G
        She was, a horrible liar
        G                  Am
        She couldn't spend, one day alone
                Bm        Am       G
        But she couldn't, be satisfied

        G             Am
        When you have, everything
        Bm        Am            G
        You have everything to lose
        G               Am
        She made herself, a bed of nails
                Bm            Am            G
        And she's planning, on putting it to use
        
        [Chorus]
        RIFF2      F        C      G
        But she had diamonds on the inside
        RIFF2   F        C      G
        She had diamonds on the inside
        RIFF2   F        C      G
        She had diamonds on the inside
        F  C  G   RIFF2
        Diamonds
           
        [Verse]
        G                                   Am
        A candle throws its light, into the darkness
            Bm               Am            G
        In a nasty world, so shines a good deed
        G                    Am
        Make sure the fortune, that you seek
            Bm        Am      G
        Is the fortune that you need
        
        G          Am
        Tell me why, the first to ask
            Bm        Am         G
        Is the last, to give every time
        G                Am
        What you say, and do not mean
        Bm           Am      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
        Diamonds … Diamonds
        
     
        D C Em C D Em C D Em C D
        
        
        [Verse]
                G                            Am
        Like the soldier long standing, under fire
        Bm           Am            G
        Any change, comes as a relief
                G                     Am
        Let the givers name, remain unspoken
        Bm             Am         G
        She is just a generous thief
        
        
        [Chorus - Outrp]
                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
        She wore diamonds
        F  C   G
        Oh diamonds
                F  C  G
        She had diamonds
                F C   G
        She wore diamonds
        F  C  G
        Diamonds
