G 
I been trying hard to hold up my end of the deal 
        C                             G 
Running back to a well that’s running dry 
G 
Yes, I’ve had a hard time keeping up with everything 
      C                          G 
But I guess I’ve had a lot on my mind 
       D                          Em     
And it shows on my face that it’s changing me 
    C                              D 
And everyone’s so glad to point it out 
        G                     F  
And the shape of things keeps moving 
       C  
But, I try to stay the same 
   C/B Am                  D              G  
And I   hope someday it’ll all come back around 

  
If you’d sat me down at seventeen and stared me in the face 
And said this is where you’ll be at thirty five 
I’d have run like hell the other way till I ran out of steam 
Cause a dream is more than how I survive 
And it shows on my face that it’s changing me 
And everyone’s so glad to point it out 
And the shape of things keeps moving 
But, I try to stay the same 
And I hope some day it’ll all come back around 


Bridge: 
Em       C               G  
I’m not above needing forgiveness 
Em       C            G 
I’m not above amazing grace 
Em          C    G  
Show me someone afraid of living 
         Em                     C            D 
And I’ll show you someone who’s never made mistakes 


        D                          Em  
Well it shows on my face that it’s changing me 
    C                               D 
And everyone is so glad to point it out 
            G                     F 
Oh, and the shape of things keeps moving 
       C 
But, I try to stay the same 
   C/B  Am                 D             G  
And I   hope someday it’ll all come back around 

Yeah, I hope someday it’ll all come back around 
  
Oh, I hope someday that it’ll all come back around
