[Verse 1]
D Bm7
I give thanks again that long nights though they're lonely
D A
Are lit by stars and end with suns that climb
D Bm7
And the moon will back me up on this just look up
Em7 G D A
Yeah, but the moon won't take you out to wine and dine!
[Instrumental]
Dmaj7 Bm7 Dmaj7 A
[Verse 2]
D Bm7
Oh yeah, I know, but there her hand is always on my shoulder
Em7 G D
Yeah, but every evening we still hear you whine and whine!
Dmaj7 Bm7
But, like a sibling, I neglect her
D Bm7 A
And we have no choice, I'm hers and she is mine
D
And she is yours, and you are hers
Bm7
And we're each others
Em7 G A D
Oh shut up Phil! We're just shouting empty rhymes!
[Verse 3]
D Bm7/F# D A
I know, I know the world's alone and this light's on loan
D Bm7 Em7 G A
I know, we're all alone, until, until we have grown
D Bm7
Old enough, grown old enough to pay it back
D A Dmaj7
Grown old enough to pay back all our borrowed sunlight, and we've grown
[Instrumental]
Bm7 Em7 G D
[Otro]
D Bm7
Old enough to pay it back with our gruesome rotting
D Bm7 A
And our lives are just long saggings of the spine
D Bm7
So here I sit hunched over a candle in the dark night
Em7 G D
Oh, Thanksgiving, here I hug my sorrow tight
