I new a girl Her name was truth,    She was a horrible liar

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

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 

 

D C Em C | D Em C D |  Em C |  D (see tab on next page for solo)

 

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 (x2)
