Rush - Grand Designs: chords

D Em      G
So much style without substance
D Em      G
So much stuff without style
D     Em           G
It's hard to recognize the real thing
D   Em         G             D Em  G
It comes along once in a while
D       Em                G   A
Like a rare and precious metal
 D         Em       G A
Beneath a ton of rock
    D          Em        G    A
It takes some time and trouble
    D        Em        G  A
To separate from the stock
     D         Em      G       A
You sometimes have to listen to
   D     Em       G
A lot of useless talk

D Em
Shapes and forms
D Em            D
Against the norm

Chorus:
Em
Against the run of the mill
D
Swimming against the stream
A
Life in two dimensions is
   Bm
a mass production scheme

So much poison in power,
the principles get left out
So much mind on the matter,
the spirit gets forgotten about
Like a righteous inspiration
overlooked in haste
Like a teardrop in the ocean,
a diamond in the waste
Some world-views are spacious
And some are merely spaced

Chorus:
Em
Against the run of the mill
D
Static as it seems
A
We break the surface tension
          Bm                D
with our wild kinetic dreams
Em              D
Curves and lines
Em
Of grand designs
Em
Against the run of the mill
D
Swimming against the stream
A
Life in two dimensions is
  Bm
a mass production scheme

Against the run of the mill
Static as it seems
We break the surface tension
with our wild kinetic dreams
