Chord/Tab song: For These Times

CAPO 1

Intro: | D | G/D :||

Verse 1:
In these t[D]imes in which we live, where the w[G/D]orst of what we live
Is l[G/D]aid out for all the world on the front page[D]
And the s[D]ound of someone's heartbreak is a s[G/D]oundbite at the news break
With a c[G/D]lose shot of the tears rollin' down their fa[D]ce
[D7]Blessed be the child who t[G]urns a loving eye
And s[Bm7]tops to p[A]ray, for these times in which we liv[D]e[G/D]

Verse 2:
In these m[D]ost uncertain hours where the b[G/D]alance of power
Is a fi[G]ght that is fought every da[D]y
And fr[D]eedom is a word, some cry [G/D]out and some whisper
And s[G]ome are just too quick to give awa[D]y
[D7]Blessed be the one who st[G]ands by the one
On the b[Bm7]attle lin[A]e, for these times in which we l[D]ive

Chorus 1:
Well g[Em7]ive [G]me a hear[Bm7]t full of ten[A]-der mercy
And a[G]rms [Bm7]I will o[Em7]pen wi[G]de

Verse 3:
For these ti[D]mes in which we live seems like the [G/D]only answer is
G[G]ivin' up on findin' one at al[D]l
And we h[D]ide behind unsure, pull the b[G/D]linds and lock the doors
And h[G]ang a pleasant picture on the wa[D]ll
[D7]Blessed is the believer who knows lo[G]ve is our redeemer
And the [Bm7]only breath of li[A]fe, for these times in which we live[D]

Chorus 2:
Well g[Em7]ive [G]me a hear[Bm7]t full of te[A]n-der mercy
And a[G]rms [Bm7]I will o[Em7]pen wi[G]de
Yeah, [Em7]give m[G]e w[Bm7]ords full of lo[A]ving kindness
And h[G]ands r[Bm7]eady to h[Em7]old up a li[G]ght
For these times in which we liv[D]e[G/D]
For these times in which we liv[D]e[G/D]

Ad-lib with outro:
[D] Blessed be the c[G/D]hild oh-o[D]h[G/D]
[D]Yea-yea-yea-yea-y[G/D]eah-ah, for these t[D]imes[G/D]
Everyb[D]ody just s[G/D]top and pray, yea-y[D]eah[G/D]
[D] For these times in which we live.
