|= measure bar line [Intro] |C |Csus |Am7 | | |C |Csus |Am7 |F2 | [Verse 1]
     C
Well can't you feel it in your bones

 Csus
Something isn't right here

 C
Something that you've always known

                   Am7    F2
But you don't know why

       C
'Cause every time the sun goes down

   Csus
We face another night here

C
Waiting for the world to spin around

           Am7    F2
Just to survive
[Chorus 1]
    Am7
But when you see the morning sun

 Gsus
Burning through a silver mist

 Am7
Don't you want to thank someone?

 F2                             C
Don't you want to thank someone for this?
[Instrumental] |C | |F2 | | [Verse 2]
     C
Well have you ever wondered why

    Csus
In spite of all that's wrong here

        C
There's still so much that goes so right

            Am7      F2
And beauty abounds?

       C
'Cause sometimes when you walk outside

        Csus
Oh the air is full of song here

     C
The thunder rolls and the baby sighs

                       Am7           F2
And the rain comes down the rain comes down
[Chorus 2]
    Am7
And when you see the spring has come

       Gsus
And it warms you like a mother's kiss

Am7
Don't you want to thank someone?

F2                                   C
Don't you want to thank someone for this?
[Interlude]
C                       F2
        to thank someone for this

   C
oh don't you want to thank someone

                               F2
don't you want to thank someone for this
[Verse 3]
   C
I used to be a little boy

    Csus
As golden as a sunrise

C
Breaking over illinois

                  Am7     F2
When the corn was tall

          C
Yeah, but every little boy grows up

         Csus
And he's haunted by the heart that died

C
Longing for the world that was

            Am7    F2
Before the fall
[Chorus 3]
 Am7
Oh, but then forgiveness comes

  Gsus
A grace that I cannot resist

    Am7
And I just want to thank someone

F2                                C
I just want to thank someone for this
[Instrumental] |C | |F2 | | |C | |F2 | | |Am7 | |Gsus | | |F2 | |Em7 | | [Bridge]
    Am7
Now I can see the world is charged

     Gsus
It's glimmering with promises

 F2
Written in a script of stars

 Em7
Dripping from prophets' lips

    Am7
But still, my thirst is never slaked

     Gsus
I am hounded by a restlessness

    F2
I'm eaten by this endless ache

    Em7
But still I will give thanks for this

             Am7
'Cause I can see it in the seas of wheat

      Gsus
I can feel it when the horses run

     F2
It's howling in the snowy peaks

     Em7
It's blazing in the midnight sun

Am7
Just behind a veil of wind

          Gsus
A million angels waiting in the wings

   F2
A swirling storm of cherubim

         Em7
Making ready for the reckoning

   Am7           Gsus
Oh, how long, how long?

  F2             Gsus
Oh, sing on, sing on
[Verse 4]
     C
And when the world is new again

        Csus
And the children of the king

     C
Are ancient in their youth again

             Am7
Maybe it's a better thing

  F2
A better thing

      C
To be more than merely innocent

          Csus
But to be broken then redeemed by love

C
Maybe this old world is bent

                      Am7
But it's waking up

              F2
And I'm waking up
[Chorus 4]
       Am7
'Cause I can hear the voice of one

     Gsus
He's crying in the wilderness

      Am7
"Make ready for the kingdom come"

 F2                                C
Don't you want to thank someone for this?

                F2
To thank someone for this
[Ending]
      C
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

     F2
Hallalujah! Hallelujah!
