[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.
