G Cm/G D#6 D7
G D/G
These are the days of the open hand
Dm/G
They will not be the last
Look around now
Cm/G D#6 F G
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers
D/G
This is the year of the hungry man
Dm/G
Whose place is in the past
Cm/G D#6 F Am
Hand in hand with ignorance and legitimate excuses
E7
The rich declare themselves poor
Am7/G
And most of us are not sure
D7
If we have too much but we’ll take our chances
E7 Am
‘Cause God stopped keeping score
E7
I guess somewhere along the way
Am7/G
He must have let us all out to play
And turned his back
D7
And all God’s children
C/E G
Crept out the back door
D/G
And its hard to love
Dm/G
Theres so much to hate
Cm/G
Hanging onto hope
D#6 F G
When there is no hope to speak of
D/G
And the wounded skies above
Dm/G
Say its much too late
Cm/G D#6 F G Cm/G D#6 D7
Oh maybe we should all be praying for time
G D/G
This is the year of the empty hand
Dm/G
Oh you hold onto what you can
Cm/G D#6 F
And charity is a coat you wear twice a year
G D/G
These are the days of the guilty man
Dm/G
Your television takes a stand
Cm/G D#6
And you find that what was over there
F Am
Is over here
E7
So you scream from behind your door
Am7/G
Say whats mine is mine and not yours
I may have too much
D7 E7 Am
But I’ll take my chances cause God stopped keeping score
E7
And you’ll cling to the things they sold you
Am7/G
Did you cover your eyes when they told you
That he cant come back
D7
‘Cause he has no children
C/E G
To come back for
D/G Dm/G
And its hard to love when theres so much to hate
Cm/G
And hanging onto hope
D#6 F G
When there is no hope to speak of
D/G
And the wounded skies above
Dm/G
Say its much, much too late
Cm/G D#6 F G Cm/G D7 G
Mm, well maybe we should all be praying for time
