[Verse 1]
[D]Okay, here's another holiday thing.
This song is called
Thanksgiving.
We're just moving back.
Back in time.
Lord, every year we [G]gather [Gm]here[Asus4]
to [D]eat around this table
[Gm]give us the strength to stom[D]ach as much
[G]as fast as we are[D] able
[G]bless this fool [Gsus4]to our us[G]e
though com[D]munication's useless
[G]don't let me dri[Gsus4]nk[G][D]
Lord, you know how I get ruth[Asus4]less
[G]Let [D]us somehow get[G]
through [Gm]this meal
[Asus4]Without that bad o[D]ld feeling
[G]With history and [D]memory
[G]And home cooking we'[D]re dealing
Re[G]mind us that we're
[Gsus4]all grown[G] up
[D]Adults no longer children
[G]Now it's our kids
[Gsus4]that spil[G]l the milk
[D]And our turn [G]to wanna kill [Asus4]them[G]
[D]I look around a[G]n d recogn[Gm]ize[G]
[Asus4]A sister and a brother[D]
[Gm]We rarely see our pa[G]rents [D]now,
[G]we hardly see each other.
[D]On [G]this auspicious occasio[Gsus4]n,
[G]thi[D]s special family dinner.
[G]If I argue with a [Gsus4]loved one[G],
[D]Lord, please [G]make me the
win[Asus4]ner.[G]
[D]All this food looks and [G]smells so [Gm]good
[G]But I can hardly taste [D]it
[Gm]The sense of something
has been [D]lost
[G]There's no way to replace [D]it
Af[G]ter the meal, [Gsus4]switch on[G] the game,
[D]it's just a few more seconds, [G]but I'm so tired, I need
a [D]nap.
The guest bedroom [G]bed [Asus4]beckons.[G]
[D]I fall asleep, I[G] ha[Gm]ve a dream, in it i[G]s the [Asus4]family,[D]
[Gm]nothing bad [G]has happened [D]yet [G]an d everyone
[D]is happy.
[G]Mother and father, [Gsus4]both still youn[G]g,
[D]and naturally they love us.
[G]We're all lying on a lawn at night,
[D]watching the stars [Asus4]above us.[G]
[D]Lord, every year we [Gm]gather here
[G]to [D]eat around this table.
[Gm]Give us the strength to [D]stomach
as much [G]as fast as we are able.

[Outro 1]
