[Intro 1]
[G][A][D][A][G][D][A][G]
[D][A][G][D][Dsus4][D]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
We're living in a time of incon[A]veni[G] ence
[D]Compassion fails me with
[A]this meanness [G]in the air
[D]Our city streets are filled with viol [A]enc[G]e
[D]So we close our doors to the city
And pretend that it's not [G]there

[Verse 2]
Here I go [A]again
Back out on these mean streets
[G]The evil seems to cling to [A]the
soles of my feet
Cause' [D]I'm living in a [A]time
of incon[G]venience
At an [A]inconvenient [D]time
[A][G][D][A][G]

[Verse 3]
[D]We're living in the age
of commu[A]nica[G]tion
[D]Where the only voices heard
have [A]money in [G]their hands
[D]Where greed has become
a sophistic[A]ation
[G]And [D]if you ain't got money

[Verse 4]
You ain't got [A]nothin' in [G]this land
An' here I am one lonely [A]wo man

[Verse 5]
On these mean streets
[G]Where the right to life man has
become [A]my enemy
Cause' [D]I'm living in his
[A]time of incon[G]venience
At an [A]inconvenient [D]time
[A][G][D]

[Verse 6]
[A][G]
I've turned my cheek
As my [F#m]history fades
While the [E]clock ticks away
Any pro[A]gress we've made
[G]I never thought
I'd be [F#m]ashamed to be human
[E]Afraid to say
My [A]time has seen it's day

[Verse 7]
Cuz' [D]I'm living in a [A]time of
incon[G]venience[D]
Living in a [A]time of [G]inconveni[D]ence
living in a [A]time of incon[G]venience
It's an [A]inconvenient [D]time
[A][G][D][A][G]

[Verse 8]
[D]
This is the time of greed and power
[G]Whe[D]re everyone needs to have
[A]someone [G]to shove around
[D]Our children come to us for answers[G]
[D]Listening for freedom but they
[A]don't know the [G]sound

[Verse 9]
And there they are, our [A]children
Dumped out in these mean streets
[G]The evil sweeps them up
And [A]brings them to their knees
[D]Cause' they're

[Verse 10]
living in our
[A]time of incon[G]venience
[D]They're living in the age[A]
of communic[G]ation[D]
This is the [A]time of greed [G]and power[D]
This is the [A]time that I [G]wish was
not [A]mine
Cause' it's an inconvenient
[D]tim[A]e[G]

[Verse 11]
(time, [D]oh time)
(it's an [A]inconvenient time)[G]

[Outro 1]
