D Gm D A♯6 A7

D These are the days of the open hA/Dand

 They will not be the lAm/Dast

Look around now

 These GmareD the days of the bA♯6eggars aCnd the chDoosers

 This is the year of the hungry A/Dman

 Whose place is in the Am/Dpast

 Hand in hand with GmignDorance and leA♯6gitimateC excusEmes

 The rich declare themselves pB7oor

 And most of us are not sEm7/Dure

 If we have too much but we’ll tA7ake our chances

 ‘Cause God stopped kB7eeping scEmore

 I guess somewhere along the wB7ay

 He must have let us all out to Em7/Dplay

And turned his back

 And aA7ll God’s children

 Crept G/Bout the bDack door

 And its hard to love A/D

 Theres so much to hate Am/D

 Hanging onto hope Gm D

 When there A♯6is no hCope to spDeak of

 And the wounded skies aA/Dbove

 Say its much too lAm/Date

 Oh GmmayDbe we should A♯6all be prCaying for tDime Gm D A♯6 A7

D This is the year of the empty hA/Dand

 Oh you hold onto what you Am/Dcan

 And charity is a GmcoaDt you wear tA♯6wice a yCear

D These are the days of the guilty A/Dman

 your television takes a Am/Dstand

 And you find tGmhatD what was over tA♯6here

 Is oCver heEmre

 So you scream from behind your dB7oor

 Say whats mine is mine and not yEm7/Dours

I may have too much

 But I’ll tA7ake my chances cause God stopped keB7eping sEmcore

 And you’ll cling to the things they sB7old you

 Did you cover your eyes when they tEm7/Dold you

That he cant come back

 ‘Cause he A7has no children

 to cG/Bome back fDor

 And its hard to love A/D when theres so much to hate Am/D

 And hanging onto hope Gm D

 When there A♯6is no hCope to spDeak of

 And the wounded skies abA/Dove

 Say its much, much Am/Dtoo late
