The Time Is Now

[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.
