Praying for Time George Michael
[Intro]
| A | Amaj7 | A7 | Dm/A | D5/A G/A |
| A | Amaj7 | A7 | Dm/A | D5/A G/A |
[Verse]
[A] These are the days of the open [Amaj7]hand
They will not be the [A7]last ... look around now
Dm/A D5/A G/A [ A ]
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers
[Verse]
[A] This is the year of the hungry [Amaj7]man
Whose place is in the [A7]past
Hand in hand with [Dm/A]ignorance
D5/A G/A [ Bm ]
And legitimate excuses
[Bridge]
Bm Bbaug
The rich declare themselves poor
And most of us are not [D/A]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
He must have let us all out to [D/A]play
E/G# [ A ]
Turned his back and all God's children crept out the back door
[Verse]
[A] And it's hard to love,[Amaj7] there's so much to hate
[A7] Hanging on to hope
Dm/A D5/A G/A [ A ]
When there is no hope to speak of
[A] And the wounded skies a[Amaj7]bove
Say it's much too much too [A7]late
Dm/A D5/A G/A [ A ]
Well maybe we should all be praying for time
[Interlude]
| A | Amaj7 | A7 | Dm/A | D5/A G/A |
| A | Amaj7 | A7 | Dm/A | D5/A G/A |
[Verse]
[A] These are the days of the empty [Amaj7]hand
Oh you hold on to what you [A7]can
And charity is a [Dm/A]coat you wear [D5/A]twice a [G/A]year
[Verse]
[A] This is the year of the guilty [Amaj7]man
Your television takes a [A7]stand
Dm/A D5/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
Say what's mine is mine and not [D/A]yours
I may have too much but I'll [E/G#]take my chances
E/G# [ Bm ]
Cause God's stopped keeping score
Bm Bbaug
And you cling to the things they sold you
Did you cover your eyes when they [D/A]told you
E/G# [ A ]
That he can't come back because he has no children to come back for
[Verse]
[A] And it's hard to love,[Amaj7] there's so much to hate
[A7] Hanging on to hope
Dm/A D5/A G/A [ A ]
When there is no hope to speak of
[A] And the wounded skies a[Amaj7]bove
Say it's much too much too [A7]late
Dm/A D5/A G/A [ A ]
So maybe we should all be praying for time
[Coda]
