Verse 1 
 
G 
I new a girl 
Am 
Her name was truth 
Bm        Am       G     G 
She was a horrible lair 
G                  Am 
She couldn?t spend one day alone 
Bm        Am            G     G 
But she couldn?t be satisfied 
G            Am 
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

Verse 2 (1:15 2:03) 
 
G                                     Am 
A candle throws its light into the darkness 
Bm                Am                G     G 
In a nasty world so shines a good deed 
G                      Am 
Make sure the fortune that you seek 
Bm       Am               G     G 
Is the fortune that you need 
 
G               Am 
Tell me why the first to ask 
Bm              Am          G     G 
Is the last to give every time 
G                Am 
What you say and do not mean 
Bm         Am       G     G 
Follows you close behind
