Diamonds on the Inside

Ben Harper / Ben Harper & the Innocent Ceriminals: Diamonds on the Inside (2003)

G Am Bm Am G
I knew a girl, Her name was truth, - She was a horrible liar.
G Am Bm Am G
She couldn’t spend one day alone - But she couldn’t be satisfied.
G Am Bm Am G
When you have everything - 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. -
G F C G F C G
But she had diamonds on the inside, - She had diamonds on the inside,
F C G F C G
She had diamonds on the inside, - Di-ia-monds.
 
G Am
A candle throws its light into the darkness,
Bm Am G
In a nasty world, so shines a good deed.
G Am Bm Am G
Make sure the fortune that you seek - Is the fortune that you need.
G Am Bm Am G
Tell me why the first to ask - Is the last to give every time.
G Am Bm Am G
What you say and do not mean - Follows you close behind.
F C G F C G
She had diamonds on the inside, - She had diamonds on the inside,
F C G F C G F C G
She wore diamonds on the inside, - Di-ia-monds - Di-ia-monds.

Like a soldier long standing under fire, - Any change comes as a relief.

Let the givers name remain unspoken, - She is just a generous thief.

She had diamonds on the inside, - She had diamonds on the inside,

She wore diamonds on the inside, - She wore di-ia-monds, - Oh, di-ia-monds,
F C G F C G F C G
She had di-ia-monds, - She wore di-ia-monds, - Di-ia-monds.
