verse 1:  
       D  
In the wake of every heartache  
       Bm  
In the depth of every fear  
           G                 A                           D  
There were diamonds, diamonds waiting to break out of here  

Don't you think I hear the whispers  
Those subtle lies, those angry pleas  
They're just demons, demons wishing they were free like me  

Pre-Chorus  
          G                 D  
We're the fire from the sun  
          G                         D  
We're the light when the day is done  
           G                        A  
We are the brave, (we're) the chosen ones  
          G                 A                      D  
We're the diamonds, diamonds rising up out the dust  

 
D  
   O oh, rising up out the dust.  
Bm  
   O oh, rising up out the dust.  

verse 2:  
All your curses will surrender  
Every damning word will kneel  
They're just mountains, mountains about to turn into fields

Bm                 D/F#           D  
  You've taken down so many others  
D               A        D  
  Oh but you'll know my name when you see  
That in these ashes I'm stronger still  
You'll learn to fear my pain, yeah you will  

You'll learn to feel my pain, yeah you will  

Pre-Chorus  

          G                 A                             D  
We're the diamonds, diamonds  x4    rising up out the dust
