George Michael - Praying for time

^A These are the days of the open ^Amaj7 hand They will not be the ^A7 last - Look around now Dm6 Dm6/F G A These are the days of the beggars and the choosers This is the year of the hungry ^Amaj7 man Whose place is in the ^A7 past - Hand in hand Dm6 Dm6/F G Bm with ignorance And le - gitimate ex - cuses F#7/Bb The rich declare themselves poor And most of us are not ^D/A sure E/A# If we have too much - But we'll take our chance 'Cause ^E God's stopped ^F# keeping ^Bm score F#7/Bb I guess somewhere along the way He must have let us all out to ^D/A play E/A# Turned his back and all God's children E Esus4/F# A Crept out the back door And it's hard to love,^Amaj7 there's so much to hate ^A7 Hanging on to hope Dm6 Dm6/F G A When there is no hope to speak of And the wounded skies a - ^Amaj7 bove say it's much, much too ^A7 late Dm6 Dm6/F G A Well maybe we should all be praying for time Amaj7 A7 Dm6 Dm6/F G A toehoehoe hohoho hoo hoo-oo - hoo hoho yeah

^A These are the days of the empty ^Amaj7 hand Oh you hold on to what you ^A7 can - And charity Dm6 Dm6/F G is a coat you wear twice a year ^A This is the year of the guilty ^Amaj7 man Your television takes a ^A7 stand - And you find Dm6 Dm6/F G Bm that what was over there is over here F#7/Bb So you scream from behind your door Say what's mine is mine and not ^D/A yours E/A# I may have too much but I'll take my chances 'Cause ^E God's stopped ^F# keeping ^Bm score F#7/Bb And you cling to the things they sold you Did you cover your eyes when they ^D/A told you

And it's hard to love, ^Amaj7 there's so much to hate ^A7 Hanging on to hope Dm6 Dm6/F A When there is no G hope to speak of And the wounded skies a - ^Amaj7 bove say it's much too ^A7 late Dm6 Dm6/F G A So maybe we should all be praying for time Amaj7 A7 Dm6 Dm6/F G A toehoehoe - hoo-oo - hoo hoho yeah
