The Time Is Now
By: Matt Maher
[INTRO]
G
[VERSE 1]
G C Em D
The good ole days are gone in the past where they belong
Am C G D
Turns out they weren’t so good for everyone
G C Em D
Tear down this house of stone I built to stand alone
Am C G D
Cause there ain’t room for anyone, for anyone, for everyone
[CHORUS]
G
When all of the tables are turning
D
All of the bridges are burning
Em C Am Em D
Can’t keep a heart that is hurting from breaking down
G
But if we are the times that are changing
D B7
If we are the lessons we’re learning
Em D C G/B Am D G
If everyone’s someone worth saving then the time is now
[VERSE 2]
G C Em D
I grieve the things I see brothers found as enemies
Am C G D
White-knuckled disbelief in everyone
G C Em D
Oh land of liberty shines bright enough for me
Am C G D
When will she shine that same light on everyone, on everyone
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]
C
Generations pass on right and wrong
G
The children they cry, “How long, how long”
D Em C
Til justice flows like a river, let justice roll like a river
Generations pass, un-righted wrongs
G
Their children they cry, “How long, how long”
D Em C
Til justice flows like a river, til justice rolls like a river
[CHORUS]
[TAG]
C D G C D G
Oh the time is now, yeah the time is now.
