Diamonds on the Inside - Ben Harper

I knew a girl - Her name was truth      [Verse]

She was a ho-o-o-orrible liar - …       F  F

She couldn't spend  - One day long      Gm Gm

But she couldn't be satisfied - …       Am  Gm

When you have       - Everything        F  F

You have everything - To lose

She made herself    - A bed of nails

And she's plannin' on puttin' it - To use

(But) (she (had) diamonds on     [Chorus] D# Bb

 The inside x3) - (Dia-a-a-amonds - … x1) F F

A candle throws its light  - Into the darkness

In a nasty world so shines - The good deed

Make sure the fortune      - That you seek

Is the fortune tha-a-a-at  - You need

So tell me why             - The first to ask

Is the last to give        - Every time

What you say an-n-nd - Do not mean

Follow too close     - Behind       [Chorus] ()

                                     (…/…/wore)

[Link] C Bb Dm Dm                         (x2)

      (Bb C Dm Dm x2) - Bb Bb C C

Like a soldier long standing under fire - …

Any change comes as a relief            - …

Let the giver's name remain unspoken    - …

For she is just a generous thief        - …

[Chorus] (…) (…/…/wore) (She wore diamonds - …

       Oh, diamonds - … - She had diamonds - …

  She wore diamonds - … - Diamonds)
