Bb Bbmaj7 Bb7 Ebm Ab (x2)
Bb These are the days of the open Bbmaj7hand
They will not be the Bb7last look around now
These Ebmare the days of the beggars Aband the Bbchoosers
This is the year of the hungry Bbmaj7man
Whose place is in the Bb7past
Hand in hand with Ebmignorance
And legitiAbmate exCmcuses
Chorus
The rich declare themCm(maj7)/Bselves poor
And most of us are not Eb/Bbsure
If we have too much, but we'll F/Atake our chances
Because god's stopped keeping Cmscore
I guess somewhere along the Cm(maj7)/Bway
He must have let us all out to Eb/Bbplay
Turned his back and F/Aall god's children
Crept out the Bbback door
And it's hard to love, Bbmaj7 there's so much to hate
Bb7 Hanging on to hope
Ebm When there is no Abhope to Bbspeak of
And the wounded skies aBbmaj7bove say it's much, much too Bb7late
Well Ebmmaybe we should all be Abpraying for Bbtime
Bbmaj7 Bb7 Ebm Ab
Bb Bbmaj9 Bb7 Ebm Ab
Bb These are the days of the empty Bbmaj7hand
Oh! You hold on to what you Bb7can
And charity is a Ebmcoat you wear twice a Abyear
Bb This is the year of the guilty Bbmaj7man
Your television takes a Bb7stand
And you find that Ebmwhat was over there Abis over Cmhere
Chorus
So you scream from behind your Cm(maj7)/Bdoor
Say "what's mine is mine and not Eb/Bbyours"
I may have too much but i'll F/Atake my chances
Because god's stopped keeping Cmscore
And you cling to the things they Cm(maj7)/Bsold you
Did you cover your eyes when they Eb/Bbtold you
That he can't come back, because he F/Ahas no children to come Bbback for
And it's hard to love,Bbmaj7 there's so much to hate
Bb7 Hanging on to hope
Ebm When there is no Abhope to Bbspeak of
And the wounded skies aBbmaj7bove say it's much, too Bb7late
So Ebmmaybe we should all be Abpraying for Bbtime
