For These Times
guitar chords lyrics
CAPO 1
Intro: | D | G/D :||
Verse 1:
D G/D
In these times in which we live, where the worst of what we live
G/D D
Is laid out for all the world on the front page
D G/D
And the sound of someone's heartbreak is a soundbite at the news break
G/D D
With a close shot of the tears rollin' down their face
D7 G
Blessed be the child who turns a loving eye
Bm7 A D G/D
And stops to pray, for these times in which we live
Verse 2:
D G/D
In these most uncertain hours where the balance of power
G D
Is a fight that is fought every day
D G/D
And freedom is a word, some cry out and some whisper
G D
And some are just too quick to give away
D7 G
Blessed be the one who stands by the one
Bm7 A D
On the battle line, for these times in which we live
Chorus 1:
Em7 G Bm7 A
Well give me a heart full of ten-der mercy
G Bm7 Em7 G
And arms I will open wide
Verse 3:
D G/D
For these times in which we live seems like the only answer is
G D
Givin' up on findin' one at all
D G/D
And we hide behind unsure, pull the blinds and lock the doors
G D
And hang a pleasant picture on the wall
D7 G
Blessed is the believer who knows love is our redeemer
Bm7 A D
And the only breath of life, for these times in which we live
Chorus 2:
Em7 G Bm7 A
Well give me a heart full of ten-der mercy
G Bm7 Em7 G
And arms I will open wide
Em7 G Bm7 A
Yeah, give me words full of loving kindness
G Bm7 Em7 G
And hands ready to hold up a light
D G/D
For these times in which we live
D G/D
For these times in which we live
Ad-lib with outro:
D G/D D G/D
Blessed be the child oh-oh
D G/D D G/D
Yea-yea-yea-yea-yeah-ah, for these times
D G/D D G/D
Everybody just stop and pray, yea-yeah
D
For these times in which we live.
