[Intro 1]
[G][G][G]
[Cm]
[G][G][G]
[Cm]

[Verse 1]
[G]These are the days of the open han[G]d
They will not be the [G]last
Look around now
These [Cm]are the days
of the beggars and the [G]choosers
This is the year of the hungry [G]man
Whose place is in the [G]past
Hand in hand with [Cm]ignorance
And legitimate ex[Am]cus es

[Pre-chorus 1]
The rich declare [E]themselves poor
And most of us are not [Am]sure
If we have too much
But we'll [D]take our chances
'Cause [D]God's stopped keeping [Am]score
I guess somewhere along the [E]way
He must have let us all out to [Am]play
Turned his back and [D]all God's children
[D]Crept out the bac[G]k door

[Chorus 1]
And it's hard to [G]love,
there's so much to hate
[G]Hanging on to hope
[Cm]When there is no hope to speak[G] of
And the wounded skies [G]above
say it's much, much too [G]late
Well, [Cm]maybe we should all be praying for time

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 2]
[G]These are the days
of the empty [G]hand
Oh, you hold on to what you [G]can
And charity is a [Cm]coat you wear twice a year
[G]This is the year of the guilty man[G]
Your television takes a [G]stand
And you find that [Cm]what was over there

[Pre-chorus 2]
is over here
[Am]So you scream
from behind your [E]door
Say, "What's mine is mine and not [Am]yours"
I may have too much
but I'll [D]take my chances
'Cause [D]God's stopped keeping [Am]score
And you cling to the things they [E]sold you
Did you cover your eyes when they [Am]told you
That he can't come back
'Cause he [D]has no children
[D]to come bac[G]k for

[Chorus 2]
It's hard to [G]love,
there's so much to hate
[G]Hanging on to hope
[Cm]When there is no hope to speak[G] of
And the wounded skies [G]above
say it's much too [G]late
So [Cm]maybe we should all be praying for time
