Don Henley – My Thanksgiving (Guitar)

A
Well, a lot of things have happened since the last time we spoke

E
 Some of them are funny, some of 'em ain't no joke

     A
And I trust you will forgive me if I lay it on the line

E
 I always thought you were a friend of mine

    Bmadd11     A           E
And sometimes I think about you

Bmadd11       Dsus2
 I wonder how you're doing now

Asus4                  A
 And what you're going through

    E           Dsus2           A            Dsus2
The last time I saw you we were playing with fire

        Em          Bmadd11       Dsus2     A
We were loaded with passion and a burning desire

         E       Dsus2      A      Dsus2
For every breath, for every day of living

            Em  Bmadd11  Dsus2  A
And this is my     Thanksgiving

       A
Now the trouble with you and me, my friend, is the trouble with this nation

E
 Too many blessings, too little appreciation

    A
And I know that kind of notion—well, it just ain't cool

E
 So send me back to Sunday school

            Bmadd11              A           E
Because I'm tired of waiting for reason to arrive

     Bmadd11             Dsus2
It's too long we've been living

Asus4            A
These unexamined lives

         E          Dsus2             A          Dsus2
I've got great expectations, I've got family and friends

         Em         Bmadd11          Dsus2     A
I've got satisfying work, I've got a back that bends

         E       Dsus2      A      Dsus2
For every breath, for every day of living

            Em  Bmadd11  Dsus2  A
And this is my     Thanksgiving

Dsus2                         A
 And have you noticed that an angry man

E
 Can only get so far

Dsus2                    A
 Until he reconciles the way he thinks things ought to be

E
 With the way things are

A
 Here in this fragmented world, I still believe

E
 In learning how to give love, and how to receive it

      A
And I would not be among those who abuse this privilege

    E
Sometimes you get the best light from a burning bridge

Bmadd11                        A              E
 And I don't mind saying that I still love it all

Bmadd11            Dsus2
I wallowed in the springtime

        Asus4         A
Now I'm welcoming the fall

          E         Dsus2      A       Dsus2
For every moment of joy, every hour of fear

          Em      Bmadd11   Dsus2      A
For every winding road that brought me here

         E       Dsus2      A      Dsus2
For every breath, for every day of living

            Em  Bmadd11  Dsus2  A
And this is my     Thanksgiving

    E    Dsus2   A          Dsus2
For everyone who helped me start

        Em   Bmadd11    Dsus2    A
And for everything that broke my heart

         E       Dsus2      A      Dsus2
For every breath, for every day of living

            Em  Bmadd11  Dsus2  A
And this is my     Thanksgiving
