Chords with lyrics

Intro: | D MajorD | G/DG/D :||

Verse 1:
     D MajorD                 G/DG/D
In these times in which we live, where the worst of what we live
  G/DG/D                    D MajorD
Is laid out for all the world on the front page
     D MajorD                 G/DG/D
And the sound of someone's heartbreak is a soundbite at the news break
    G/DG/D                     D MajorD
With a close shot of the tears rollin' down their face
D7D7            G+G
Blessed be the child who turns a loving eye
   Bm7Bm7   A augmentedA                  D MajorD  G/DG/D
And stops to pray, for these times in which we live

Verse 2:
     D MajorD               G/DG/D
In these most uncertain hours where the balance of power
    G+G             D MajorD
Is a fight that is fought every day
   D MajorD             G/DG/D
And freedom is a word, some cry out and some whisper
   G+G                 D MajorD
And some are just too quick to give away
D7D7            G+G
Blessed be the one who stands by the one
    Bm7Bm7   A augmentedA                D MajorD
On the battle line, for these times in which we live


Chorus 1:
   E minor 7Em7 G+G    Bm7Bm7     A augmentedA
Well give me a heart full of ten-der mercy
   G+G  Bm7Bm7   E minor 7Em7  G+G
And arms I will open wide


Verse 3:
      D MajorD                  G/DG/D
For these times in which we live seems like the only answer is
 G+G              D MajorD
Givin' up on findin' one at all
    D MajorD              G/DG/D
And we hide behind unsure, pull the blinds and lock the doors
   G+G                D MajorD
And hang a pleasant picture on the wall
D7D7                 G+G
Blessed is the believer who knows love is our redeemer
    Bm7Bm7       A augmentedA                  D MajorD
And the only breath of life, for these times in which we live

Chorus 2:
   E minor 7Em7 G+G    Bm7Bm7     A augmentedA
Well give me a heart full of ten-der mercy
   G+G  Bm7Bm7   E minor 7Em7  G+G
And arms I will open wide
   E minor 7Em7  G+G Bm7Bm7      A augmentedA
Yeah, give me words full of loving kindness
   G+G   Bm7Bm7   E minor 7Em7    G+G
And hands ready to hold up a light
                D MajorD  G/DG/D
For these times in which we live
                D MajorD  G/DG/D
For these times in which we live


Ad-lib with outro:
D MajorD         G/DG/D   D MajorD   G/DG/D
 Blessed be the child oh-oh
D MajorD        G/DG/D        D MajorD   G/DG/D
Yea-yea-yea-yea-yeah-ah, for these times
   D MajorD     G/DG/D        D MajorD  G/DG/D
Everybody just stop and pray, yea-yeah
D MajorD
