Praying For Time - George Michael | Guitar Chords | VChords

[Intro]
---------------------
A | E/A 
Em/A Dm/A Dm/F      Dm/G A
              Whoa, oh   yea
   E/A           Em/A
Mmm   do do do oh
Dm/A | Dm/F | Dm/G 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
A                                   E/A
 These are the days of the open hand
They will not be the last
Em/A
    Look around now
      Dm/A                Dm/F    Dm/G        A
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers
                                  E/A
This is the year of the hungry man
Whose place is in the past
Em/A
    Hand in hand
     Dm/A            Dm/F    Dm/G     Bm
With ignorance and legitimate    excuses

[Pre-Chorus (1)]
---------------------
                           F#
The rich declare themselves  poor
                           D/A
And most of us are not sure
                               Bm/Ab
If we have too much, but we'll take our chances
       E             E/F#    Bm
'Cause God's stopped keeping score
                               F#
I guess somewhere along the way
                                   D/A
He must have let us all out to play
                     Bm/Ab              E
Turned his back, and all  God's children
      E/F#        A
Crept out the back door

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
And it's hard to love
E/A
   There's so much to hate
Em/A
    Hanging on to hope
Dm/A           Dm/F   Dm/G         A
    When there is  no hope to speak of
                           E/A
And the wounded skies above
                        Em/A
Say it's much, much too late
      Dm/A               Dm/F   Dm/G            A
Well, maybe we should all    be praying for time

[Bridge]
---------------------
E/A           Em/A
   Do do do oh
Dm/A     Dm/F  Dm/G A
    Mmm, whoa, oh   yeah
E/A | Em/A | Dm/A | Dm/F | Dm/G 

[Verse 3]
---------------------
A                                    E/A
 These are the days of the empty hand
Oh, you hold on to what you can
Em/A
    And charity
     Dm/A          Dm/F        Dm/G
Is a coat you wear twice a year
A                                  E/A
 This is the year of the guilty man
Your television takes a stand
Em/A
    And you find
     Dm/A               Dm/F   Dm/G     Bm
That what was over there    is over here

[Pre-Chorus (2)]
---------------------
                                   F#
So you scream from behind your door
                                  D/A
Say, "What's mine is mine and not yours
                              Bm/Ab
I may have too much, but I'll take my chances
       E             E/F#    Bm
'Cause God's stopped keeping score"
                                     F#
And you cling to the things they sold  you
                                  D/A
Did you cover your eyes when they told you
That He can't come back
          Bm/Ab           E E/F#         A
'Cause He has  no children  to  come back for?

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
And it's hard to love
E/A
   There's so much to hate
Em/A
    Hanging on to hope
Dm/A           Dm/F   Dm/G         A
    When there is  no hope to speak of
                           E/A
And the wounded skies above
                  Em/A
Say it's much too late
   Dm/A               Dm/F   Dm/G            A
So maybe we should all    be praying for time

[Outro]
---------------------
E/A
   Do do do do
Em/A Dm/A Dm/F      Dm/G A
              Whoa, oh   yeah
E/A  | Em/A | Dm/A | Dm/F 
Dm/G | A
