Praying For Time chords by George Michael

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

intro:

A augmentedA  Amaj7Amaj7  A7A7  Dm6Dm6  FF

Verse 1:

A augmentedA             Amaj7Amaj7
These are the days of the open hand

They will not be the last
A7A7
Look around now
Dm6Dm6            FF
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers
A augmentedA            Amaj7Amaj7
This is the year of the hungry man

Whose place is in the past
A7A7
Hand in hand with ignorance
Dm6Dm6   FF
And legitimate excuses

Bridge:

B minorBm
The rich declare themselves poor
D MajorD
And most of us are not sure
G+G
If we have too much
E minorEm
But we'll take our chances
E7E7
Because god's stopped keeping score
B minorBm
I guess somewhere along the way
D MajorD
He must have let us all out to play
G+G          E minorEm
Turned his back and all god's children
E7E7
Crept out the back door

Chorus:

A augmentedA           Amaj7Amaj7
And it's hard to love, there's so much to hate
A7A7
Hanging on to hope
Dm6Dm6
When there is no hope to speak of
A augmentedA              Amaj7Amaj7        A7A7
And the wounded skies above say it's much, much too late
Dm6Dm6         FF          A augmentedA
Well maybe we should all be praying for time

Verse 2:

A augmentedA             Amaj7Amaj7
These are the days of the empty hand
              A7A7
Oh you hold on to what you can
         Dm6Dm6      FF
And charity is a coat you wear twice a year
A augmentedA             Amaj7Amaj7
This is the year of the guilty man
             A7A7
Your television takes a stand
            Dm6Dm6     FF
And you find that what was over there is over here

Bridge:

B minorBm
So you scream from behind your door
D MajorD
Say "what's mine is mine and not yours"
G+G          E minorEm
I may have too much but i'll take my chances
E7E7
Because god's stopped keeping score
B minorBm
And you cling to the things they sold you
D MajorD
Did you cover your eyes when they told you
G+G
That he can't come back
E minorEm          E7E7
Because he has no children to come back for

Chorus:

A augmentedA           Amaj7Amaj7
And it's hard to love, there's so much to hate
A7A7
Hanging on to hope
Dm6Dm6      FF
When there is no hope to speak of
A augmentedA           Amaj7Amaj7             A7A7
And the wounded skies above say it's much, much too late
Dm6Dm6            FF        A augmentedA
Well maybe we should all be praying for time
