           F#    A
There's a new sun
          B              D
Risin' up angry in the sky
               F#      A
And there's a new voice
               B             C#
Saying 'we're not afraid to die'
        F#         E
Let the old world make believe
       F#                B
It's blind and deaf and dumb
     F#           E         D#        D
But nothing can change the shape of things
   F#
to come

There are changes
Lyin' ahead in every road
And there are new thoughts
Ready and waiting to explode
When tomorrow is today
The bells may toll for some
But nothing can change the shape of things
to come

E
The future's comin' in, now
A
Sweet and strong
B                                    C#
Ain't no-one gonna hold it back for long

There are new dreams
Crowdin' out old realities
There's revolution
Sweepin' in like a fresh new breeze
Let the old world make believe
It's blind and deaf and dumb

Chorus:
     F#           E          D#       D
But nothing can change the shape of things
Nothing can change the shape of things
Nothing can change the shape of things
Nothing can change the shape of things
    F#
To come
