[Intro] Dm C Am G F Dm C Am G F Dm [Verse 1]
(Dm)
Well it's late in the hour

      C                  Dm
And a few more grains of sand will fall

       F        Dm
On the colorful flowers

C                   Dm           F
Have grown upon the dust and moss

Dm             C
Now I feel the worst is near

  Dm                  F
I hold them close and count their years

Dm                    C
Pray a ray of light appears

Dm                  F
To shine down on us here
[Chorus]
Dm                C
Break down in the shape of things to come

Am               G  F      Dm
  But I'm moving on like a soldier

                    C
And I say now, when all is said and done

Am               G         F                  Dm
It's not ours to break the shape of things to come
[Verse 2]
          Dm
There's a crack in the clouds

C               Dm
 But only for a moment now

        F          Dm
Like an eye looking out

C                           Dm               F
In the blue skies finds the roads we will go down

  Dm               C
I wonder what they hold for us

  Dm                   F
I hold my family to my breast

  Dm                          C
I fear the worst and hope the best

     Dm             F
Will come to see us blessed
[Chorus]
Dm                C
Break down in the shape of things to come

Am               G  F      Dm
  But I'm moving on like a soldier

                    C
And I say now, when all is said and done

Am               G         F                  Dm
It's not ours to break the shape of things to come, hey, hey
[Interlude]
G
Given one more try wonder what I'd change
N.C. I won't deny the thought is strange
                                            Dm
I've done my best and I will lay no blame myself
[Solo] Am G F Dm C Am G F Dm [Chorus]
Dm                 C
Break down, in the shape of things to come

Am          G       F      Dm
  But I'm moving on like a soldier

              C
And I say now when all is said and done

Am               G         F                  Dm
It's not ours to break the shape of things to come
[Outro]
(Dm)
The shape of things to come

Dm
The shape of things to come
