Intro:
D D D D


Verse 1:
D
In times like these everyone could use a hand

Instead we stand around losing ground
                          A
Fighting for the promised land
     C                          G
It's so hard to tell if this is heaven or hell
            C                G
And I could never measure by degrees
         D                        A                   D
But it's sure gettin' warm 'round here in times like these

Verse 2:
D
In times like these do I really need a billionaire
                                                        A
Just takin' all my time tryin' to tell me I was treated unfair?
          C                    G
Well then I got to pay as the home of the brave
   C              G
gets divided into them the we
     D                    A                  D
Oh I find I'm a-losing my mind in times like these


Chorus 1:
D                       G
Yeah they come and they go
                    D
They're in and then not
D                                                          A
Every day I'm getting better at losing something I haven't got
       Dm
I just wanna do my labor, love my girl, and help my neighbor
        D                         G
While I keep a little hope for my dreams
         D                  A                      D
But it's sure getting hard, brother, in times like these


Solo:

Verse 3:
D
In times like these I wish someone was on my side
                                                              A
Instead of bringing it together we're just widening the great divide
  C                      G
I hope and I pray at the end of the day
      C              G
I can somehow get my troubles to ease
      D                           A                      D
But I gotta say, it's not looking good, not in times like these


Chorus 2:
D                       G
Yeah they come and they go
                          D
They're cold then they're hot
D                                                             A
I just try to keep the world from turning me to something I'm not
    Dm
I'm gonna try to run until the whole thing's done
                                     G
And I just hope I don't end up on my knees
         D                    A                      D
But it's sure getting hard to stand up in times like these


Outro:
 D
I just wanna do my labor, love my girl, and help my neighbor
                                   G
While I'm keeping all my joie de vivre
          D                 A                      D
But it's sure getting hard, brother, in times like these
                                 A                  D
I could use just a little bit of help in times like these
