For These Times Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]In [G]the[D]se [G]times
[D]
in which we live,
where the [G]worst of what we live
Is laid out for all the world
on the front [D]page
And the sound of someone's heartbreak
is a [G]soundbite at the news break
With a close shot of the tears
rolling down their [D]face
Blessed be the child who
[G]turns a loving eye
And [Bm]stops to pray
[A]for these times in which we [D]live[G]
In these [D]most uncertain hours
where the [G]balance of power
is a fight that is fought every [D]day
Freedom is a word some cry
[G]out and some whisper
Some are just too quick to give [D]away
Blessed be the one who
[G]stands by the one
On the [Bm]battle [A]line
for these [Asus4]times in whi[A]ch we liv[D]e
Well, [Em]give [G]me a [Bm]heart
full of [A]tender mercy
And [G]arms [Bm]high, we'll [Em]open [G]wide
For these [D]times in which we live
Seems like the [G]only answer is
Giving up on finding one at [D]all
And we hide behind unsure
Pull [G]the blinds and lock the doors
And hang a pleasant
picture on the [D]wall
Blessed is our believer
Who knows [G]love is our redeemer
And the [Bm]only breath of life
[A]For these times in which we liv[D]e
Well, [Em]give [G]me a [Bm]heart
full of [A]tender mercy
And [G]auld [Bm]zyne will [Em]open [G]wide
[Em]Yeah, give [G]me words
[Bm]full of loving k[A]indness
And [G]hands [Bm]ready to [Em]hold up the [G]light
For these times in which we [D]live
[G]For these times in which we liv[D]e[G]
[D]Blessed be the [G]child[D][G]
[D]Yeah, yeah, [G]yeah
For these [D]times[G]
[D]Everybody, just stop [G]and pray
[D][G][D]
