Praying For Time

PRAYING FOR TIME      GEORGE MICHAEL

Key of B Flat


  7    7   7    7   7  7 -7 -7    7
These are the days of the o-pen hand

 -5   7    7  -7  -7   7
They will not be the last

 5  -5b  -5   4
Look a-round now

 -6b  -6b  -5  -5b -5b 5
These are the days of the 

-5b  -5  -6b  -6   7   -5
Beg-gars and the choos-ers

  7   7  7    7   7  -7  -7 -6b  7
This is the year of the hun-gry man

 -6b    7    7 -7  -7   7
Whose place is in the past

  5 -5b  -5    5  -5  5   -5b
Hand in hand with ig-nor-ance

-5b  5 -5b -5 -6b -6 -8  -7
And le-gi-ti-mate ex-cu-ses

 -8   8   8   8    -7    -9    8
The rich de-clare them-selves poor

 -8   8  -8  8  -7  -9  -9
And most of us are not sure

-7  7  -7   -8  8
If we have too much

 7   -7    -9   8   -8   -7
But we'll take our chan-ces

  -7    -9      8     -8   8    -7
'Cause God's stopped keep-ing score

-8   8    8    8  -7  -9   -9  8
I guess some-where a-long the way

 7  -7   -8   8   8  8   -9 -9  -9
He must have let us all out to play

  9     -9  -9   -7  -9  8      -8   -7
Turned his back and all God's child-ren

 -8   -8   -8  -7   7
Crept out the back door

(CHORUS)


 -5  -5   -8  -8  -7
And it's hard to love, 

  -5    -5  -8  -8  -7
there's so much to hate

 -5  -5  -8 -8  7
Hang-ing on to hope

 -5b   -5 -6b -6   7  -7   7   -5
When there is no hope to speak of

 -5  -5    7  -7  -8   7  -7
And the wound-ed skies a-bove 

 -5  -5   -8   -8   -8  -7
say it's much much too late

 -5  -6b -5 -6b   -5  -5b
Well may-be we should all 

 5  -5b -5b  -5  4
be pray-ing for time

-8  8 -9  9  7 -8 -7  7
do do do oh mm wo wo yeah

VERSE 2

  7    7   7   7    7  7  -7 -6b  7
These are the days of the emp-ty hand

-5   -5   7   7  7  -7   -6  7
Oh, you hold on to what you can

 -5  5 -5b -5 -5 4  -6b  -5  -5b
And cha-ri-ty is a coat you wear 

 -5b  5  -4
twice a year

  7   7  7    7   7  7   -8  7  -7
This is the year of the guil-ty man

 -5   7  7  7  -5    7   -5  7
Your tel-e-vi-sion takes a stand

 5  -5b  -5    5   -4   5 -5b -5  -5b
And you find that what was o-ver there 

 7 7  -7  -8
is o-ver here

-7  -8   8      8  -7  -9   -8   8
So you scream from be-hind your door

 -7   -8     8  -7  -9   8   -8   8
Say what's mine is mine and not yours

-7 7   -7   -8   8   
I may have too much 

7    -7   -9   8   -8   -7
But I'll take our chan-ces

  -7    -9      8     -8   8    -7
'Cause God's stopped keep-ing score

 -8  8     8   8  -7   -9    -9    8  -7
And you cling to the things they sold you

 -8  8   8   8  -7   -9    8   -8    8  -7
Did you cov-er your eyes when they told you

 7   -7   9    -9   -9
That he can't come back

   7   -7  -9  8  -8   -7   7   7   -8   7
'Cause he has no chil-dren to come back for

(CHORUS TO END)

ENJOY!!
