[Verse 1]
A Amaj7
These are the days of the open hand
A7
They will not be the last ... look around now
Dm/A Dm/A G/A [ A ]
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers
[Verse 2]
A Amaj7
This is the year of the hungry man
A7
Whose place is in the past
Dm/A
Hand in hand with ignorance
Dm/A G/A [ Bm ]
And legitimate excuses
[Bridge]
Bm Bbaug
The rich declare themselves poor
D/A
And most of us are not sure if we have too much
E/G# [ Bm ]
But we'll take our chances cause God's stopped keeping score
Bm Bbaug
I guess somewhere along the way
D/A
He must have let us all out to play
E/G# [ A ]
Turned his back and all God's children crept out the back door
[Chorus]
A Amaj7
And it's hard to love, there's so much to hate
A7
Hanging on to hope
Dm/A Dm/A G/A [ A ]
When there is no hope to speak of
A Amaj7
And the wounded skies above
A7
Say it's much too much too late
Dm/A Dm/A G/A [ A ]
Well maybe we should all be praying for time
[Interlude]
| A | Amaj7 | A7 | Dm/A | Dm/A G/A |
| A | Amaj7 | A7 | Dm/A | Dm/A G/A |
[Verse 3]
A Amaj7
These are the days of the empty hand
A7
Oh you hold on to what you can
Dm/A Dm/A G/A
And charity is a coat you wear twice a year
[Verse 4]
A Amaj7
This is the year of the guilty man
A7
Your television takes a stand
Dm/A Dm/A G/A [ Bm ]
And you find that what was over there is over here
[Bridge]
Bm Bbaug
So you scream from behind your door
D/A
Say what's mine is mine and not yours
E/G#
I may have too much but I'll take my chances
E/G# [ Bm ]
Cause God's stopped keeping score
Bm Bbaug
And you cling to the things they sold you
D/A
Did you cover your eyes when they told you
E/G# [ A ]
That he can't come back because he has no children to come back for
[Chorus]
A Amaj7
And it's hard to love, there's so much to hate
A7
Hanging on to hope
Dm/A Dm/A G/A [ A ]
When there is no hope to speak of
A Amaj7
And the wounded skies above
A7
Say it's much too much too late
Dm/A Dm/A G/A [ A ]
So maybe we should all be praying for time

Do, do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do, do-do-do
G5 Cadd9
Do-do-do, do, do-do-do, do-do-do, do, do-do-do
[Verse 1]
G5
There ain't no point in moving on

'Till you've got somewhere to go

And the road that I have walked upon

Well, it filled my pockets, and emptied out my soul
