Verse 1 (0:02 0:50)
I new a girl
Her name was truth
She was a horrible lair
She couldn’t spend one day alone
But she couldn’t be satisfied
When you have everything
You have everything to lose
She made herself a bed of nails
And she’s planning on putting it to use
Chorus (0:50 1:15)
This has the riff played trough it, just listen to the song and you will pick it
up, so does every other chorus.
But she had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
Diamonds
Verse 2 (1:15 2:03)
A candle throws its light into the darkness
In a nasty world so shines a good deed
Make sure the fortune that you seek
Is the fortune that you need
Tell me why the first to ask
Is the last to give every time
What you say and do not mean
Follows you close behind
Chorus (2:03 2:33)
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
Diamonds diamonds
Solo (2:33 3:00)
Verse 3 (3:00 3:23)
Like the soldier long standing under fire
Any change comes as a relief
Let the givers name remain unspoken
She is just a generous thief
Chorus (3:23 4:20)
She had diamonds on the inside
She had diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds
Oh diamonds
She had diamonds
She wore diamonds
Diamonds
