I knew a girl Her name was truth
She was, a ho___rrible liar
She couldn't spend, one day alone
But she couldn't, be___ satisfied
When you have, everything
You have every__thing to lose
She made herself, a bed of nails
And she's planning, o__n putting it to use
But she wore diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
She has diamonds on the inside
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 fortu__ne that, you need
Tell me why, the first to ask
Is the last, one to give every time
What you 're saying, and do not mean
Follow__s you, close behind
But she has diamonds on the inside
She wore diamonds on the inside
She has diamonds on the inside ohh
Like the soldier long standing, under fire
Any change, comes as a relief
Let the givers name remain unspo__ken
She is just a generous thief
She wore diamonds on the inside
She has diamonds on the inside
You have diamonds on the inside ohh
Oh diamonds x3
She wore diamonds on the inside
You have diamonds, diamonds
In the live version, Ben changes the rhythm and plays only acoustic guitar, from the
"A candle throws....", "Tell me why...." and ends with chorus repeat...
Enjoy!
