[Verse 1]
Am            G                 Dm   F
What good is love and peace on earth?
     E
When it's exclusive?
Am                G               Dm   F
Where's the truth in the written word?
    E
If no one reads it
 
[Pre-chorus]
Dm         G
A new day dawning
 C             Am
Comes without warning
Dm               E
So don't blink twice
 
[Chorus]
                     Am  F  C  G  Am  F  C
We live in troubled times
    E                Am  F  C  G  Am  F  C  E
We live in troubled times
 
[Verse 2]
Am            G          Dm  F
What part of history we learned
  E
When it's repeated
Am                G         Dm  F
Some things will never overcome
    E
If we don't seek it
 
[Pre-chorus]
Dm               G
The world stops turning
C         Am
Paradise burning
Dm               E
So don't think twice
 
[Chorus]
                     Am  F  C  G  Am  F  C
We live in troubled times
    E                Am  F  C
We live in troubled times
    G            Am   F    C  E
We live in troubled times
 
[Bridge]
            Dm    G
We run for cover
         C           G       Am
Like a skyscraper's falling down
        F    E
Then I wander like a troubled mind
 
[Solo]
Am   G   Dm F    E C
Am   G   Dm F    E
 
[Verse 3]
Am            G                 Dm
What good is love and peace on earth?
     E
When it's exclusive?
Am                G              Dm   F
Where's the truth in the written word?
    E
If no one reads it
 
[Pre-chorus]
Dm         G
A new day dawning
 C             Am
Comes without warning
Dm              E
So don't look twice
 
[Chorus]
                     Am  F  C  G  Am  F  C
We live in troubled times
    E                Am  F  C
We live in troubled times
    G            Am   F    C
We live in troubled times
    E                Am  F  C  G  Am  F  C
We live in troubled times
    E                Am  F  C
We live in troubled times
    G            Am   F    C  E
We live in troubled times
