It's an inconvenient time (Time) N.C. It's an inconvenient time (Time) N.C. It's an inconvenient time (Time) | C | Gadd11 F | C | Gadd11 F | [Verse 1]
C                               Gadd11   F
 We're living in a time of inconvenience

C                              Gadd11          F
 Compassion fails me with this meanness in the air

C                                 Gadd11   F
 Our city streets are filled with violence

C                                         Gadd11             F
 So we close our doors to the city and pretend that it's not there
[Pre-Chorus]
F                 Gadd11
 Here I go again, back out on these mean streets

F                              Gadd11
 The evil seems to cling to the soles of my feet
[Chorus]
          C            Gadd11       F
Cause' I'm living in a time of inconvenience

        Gadd11
It's an inconvenient time
[Post-Chorus] | C | Gadd11 F | C | Gadd11 F | [Verse 2]
C                                  Gadd11   F
 We're living in the age of communication

C                                 Gadd11         F
 Where the only voices heard have money in their hands

C                                 Gadd11   F
 Where greed has become a sophistication

C                                         Gadd11          F
 And if you ain't got money you ain't got nothin' in this land
[Pre-Chorus]
F                         Gadd11
 And here I am one lonely woman on these mean streets

F                                  Gadd11
 Where the right to life man has become my enemy
[Chorus]
          C            Gadd11       F
Cause' I'm living in a time of inconvenience

        Gadd11
It's an inconvenient time
[Post-Chorus] | C | Gadd11 F | C | Gadd11 F | [Bridge]
         Fadd9                 Em
And I've turned my cheek as my history fades

          Dadd4                G
While the clock ticks away any progress we've made

Fadd9                    Em
 I never thought I'd be ashamed to be human

     Dadd4           G                     Gadd11  G
I'm afraid to say my time has seen it's day
[Chorus]
          C            Gadd11       F
Cause' I'm living in a time of inconvenience

C            Gadd11       F
 Living in a time of inconvenience

C            Gadd11       F
 I'm living in a time of inconvenience

        Gadd11
It's an inconvenient time
[Post-Chorus] | C | Gadd11 F | C | Gadd11 F | [Verse 3]
C                              Gadd11   F
 This is the time of greed and power

C                                 Gadd11        F
 Where everyone needs to have someone to shove around

C                            Gadd11   F
 Our children come to us for answers

C                               Gadd11         F
 Listening for freedom but they don't know the sound
[Pre-Chorus]
F                                 Gadd11
 And there they are, our children dumped out in these mean streets

F                            Gadd11
 The evil sweeps them up and brings them to their knees
[Chorus]
              C              Gadd11       F
Cause' they're living in our time of inconvenience

C                      Gadd11        F
 They're living in the age of communication

C            Gadd11            F
 This is the time of greed and power

C            Gadd11      F
 This is the time that I wish was not mine

G                            C
 Cause' it's an inconvenient time

        Gadd11       F       C
It's an inconvenient time

        Gadd11       F       C
It's an inconvenient time

        Gadd11       F       C
It's an inconvenient time

        Gadd11       F       C
It's an inconvenient time

        Gadd11       F       C
It's an inconvenient time

        Gadd11       F
It's an inconvenient time
