Martina Mcbride - For These Times guitar chord

For These Times

Martina McBride

Album: Waking Up Laughing

Intro: D-G-D

D

In these times in which we live

Where the worst of what we live

G D

Is laid out for all the world on the front page

And the sound of someone's heartbreak

Is a soundbite at the news break

G D

With a close shot of the tears rollin' down their face

G

Blessed be the child who turns a loving eye

Cm Bb

And stops to pray

D

For these times in which we live

D

In these most uncertain hours

Where the balance of power

G D

Is a fight that is fought every day

And freedom is a word

Some cry out and some whisper

G D

And some are just too quick to give away

G

Blessed be the one who stands by the one

Cm Bb

On the battle line

D

For these times in which we live

Fm G Cm Bm

Well give me a heart full of tender mercy

G Cm Fm G

And arms I will open wide

D

For these times in which we live

Seems like the only answer is

G D

Givin' up on findin' one at all

And we hide behind unsure

Pull the blinds and lock the doors

G D

And hang a pleasant picture on the wall

G

Blessed is the believer who knows love is our redeemer

Cm Bb

And the only breath of life

D

For these times in which we live

Fm G Cm Bm

Well give me a heart full of tender mercy

G Cm Fm G

And arms I will open wide

Fm D G Cm Bb G

Yeah give me words full of loving kindness

Cm Fm G

And hands ready to hold up a light

D

For these times in which we live

G D

For these times in which we live
