Tom: A
[Intro] A D E
[Verse 1]
A
I've seen ashes turning into life
D A
I've seen diamonds turn to dust
E
I've seen people turning love into lust
A
I've seen true love on a darkened street
D
And make believe at a preacher's feet
A E
But I know where I stand when I'm with you
[Chorus]
A D A
Ashes and diamonds, imprisoned and free
E
Such is the world we're in forever to be
A D B
But ashes and diamonds, imprisoned or free
A E A
Wouldn't be hard to face for as long as you're here with me
[Verse 2]
A
I've been down and out like a beggar's child
D A
I've been up where life is sweet
E
And I've tasted all the world that flows between
A
I've seen smiling faces in shanty towns
D
And frowning faces with jewelled crowns
A E
But I know where I stand when I'm with you
[Chorus]
A D A
Ashes and diamonds, imprisoned and free
E
Such is the world we're in forever to be
A D B
But ashes and diamonds, imprisoned or free
A E A
Wouldn't be hard to face for as long as you're here with me
[Bridge]
A
I've seen true love on a darkened street

But I know where I stand when I'm with you
[Chorus]
A D A
Ashes and diamonds, imprisoned and free
E
Such is the world we're in forever to be
A D B
But ashes and diamonds, imprisoned or free
A E A
Wouldn't be hard to face for as long as you're here with me
A E A
Wouldn't be hard to face for as long as you're here with me
