The Thanksgiving Song

[Verse 1]
          G
Familiar highways
            Em            D
Lined with leaves turned brown
       G
Making my way
          Em          D
Back into my hometown


[Pre-Chorus]
       G                  C
Funny how this all looks different
        D
But it feels the same
         G                  C
Like how life never stops changing
           D
But some things never change


[Chorus]
     C                   G
So, fill your plate and fill your drink
     D                    G
And fill this house with family
             C                  Em                D
The kind of love that all these years can’t wash away
            C            G
'Cause the older that I get I see
      D       Am        Em
That life is short and bittersweet
      C                   D      G
Thank God for this Thanksgiving Day

[Verse 2]
          G                  Em       D
Watching football, watching families grow
              G                   Em            D
The old kid’s table all have kids of their own


[Pre-Chorus]
         G               C            D
Starting to see my grandfather in my nephew’s eyes
      G                C               D
Mom still can’t talk about him and not almost cry


[Chorus]
     C                   G
So, fill your plate and fill your drink
     D                    G
And fill this house with family
             C               Em                D
The kind of love a thousand miles can’t wash away
            C            G
'Cause the older that I get I see
      D       Am        Em
That life is short and bittersweet
      C                   D      G
Thank God for this Thanksgiving Day

[Chorus]
    C                    G
So fill your plate and fill your drink
         D             G
Put your dishes in the kitchen sink
             C        G               D
And let the leftover year just wash away
           C                 G
'Cause we made it through, I do believe
     D       Am      Em
The longest year in history
       C                   D      G
Thank God that it’s Thanksgiving Day

     C                   G
So, fill your plate and fill your drink
     D                    G
And fill this house with family
            C               Em                D
The kind of love a thousand miles can’t wash away
            C            G
'Cause the older that I get I see
      D        Am       Em
That life is short and bittersweet
      C                   D      Em  A
Thank God for this Thanksgiving Day
      C                   D      G
