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                          G 
It's so hard to tell if this is heaven or hell 
            C                G 
And I could never measure by degrees 
         D                        A                   D 
But it's sure gettin' warm 'round here in times like these 


Verse: 2 
D 
In times like these do I really need a billionaire 
                                                        A 
Just takin' all my time tryin' to 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                  D 
Oh I find I'm a-losing my mind in times like these

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

Verse: 3 
D 
In times like these I wish someone was on my side 
                                                              A 
Instead of bringing it together 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                           A                      D 
But I gotta say, it's not looking good, not in times like these

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

While I'm keeping all my joie de vivre 
          D                 A                      D 
But it's sure getting hard, brother, in times like these

I could use just a little bit of help in times like these
