Times Like These

D D D D


[Verse 1]
D
In times like these everyone could 
use a hand

Instead we stand around losing 
ground
                          A
Fighting for the promised land
     C                         
It's so hard to tell if this is 
 G
heaven or hell
            C                G
And I could never measure by degrees
         D                        
But it's sure gettin' warm 'round 
A                   D
here in times like these


[Verse 2]
D
In times like these do I really need
 a billionaire
Just takin' all my time tryin' to 
                      A
tell me I was treated unfair?
          C                    G
Well then I got to pay as the home 
of the brave
   C              G
gets divided into them the we
     D                    A       
Oh I find I'm a-losing my mind in 
           D
times like these


Continues after the ad
[Chorus 1]
D                       G
Yeah they come and they go
                    D
They're in and then not
D                             
Every day I'm getting better at 
                             A
losing something I haven't got
       Dm
I just wanna do my labor, love my 
girl, and help my neighbor
        D                         
While I keep a little hope for my 
G
dreams
         D                  A     
But it's sure getting hard, 
                 D

[Verse 3]
D
In times like these I wish someone 
was on my side
Instead of bringing it together 
                              A
we're just widening the great divide
  C                      G
I hope and I pray at the end of the 
day
      C              G
I can somehow get my troubles to 
ease
      D                           
But I gotta say, it's not looking 
A                      D
good, not in times like these


[Chorus 2]
D                       G
Yeah they come and they go
                          D
They're cold then they're hot
D                                 
I just try to keep the world from 
                            A
turning me to something I'm not
    Dm
I'm gonna try to run until the whole
 thing's done
And I just hope I don't end up on my
 G
 knees
         D                    A   
But it's sure getting hard to 
                   D
stand up in times like these

 D
I just wanna do my labor, love my 
girl, and help my neighbor
While I'm keeping all my joie de 
  G
vivre
          D                 A     
But it's sure getting hard, 
                 D
brother, in times like these
I could use just a little bit of 
A                  D
help in times like these
