As recorded by Hayes Carll (From the 2025 Album WE'RE ONLY HUMAN) [Intro] C [Verse 1]
C
There was a flag

            G7
There was a rally

G7
There was a lady

            C
There was a guy

C
They picked a team

            G7
And started yelling

G7
It made’m both feel

      C
Sad inside
[Verse 2]
C
So later on

            G7
When it was over

G7
They found each other

     C
Apologized

C
Then they went out

             G7
And got some supper

G7
And fell in love

            C
To their surprise
[Chorus]
C
So thank God

         G7
For good people

G7
Thank people

          C
For being kind

C
Thank you

          F
For doing your thing

          G7
And thank me

          C
For doing mine
[Verse 3]
C
I know a guy

            G7
He’s always worried

G7
He’s in no hurry

       C
To try and see

C
How he might have

         G7
A couple issues

G7
Well I’ll be honest

            C
That guy is me
[Verse 4]
C
I held a grudge

            G7
Against the neighbor

G7
I did not like her

         C
For some time

C
‘Til she said “Hey,

            G7
Do you like apples?”

G7
I said ”I do”

              C
And we get on fine
[Chorus]
C
So thank God

         G7
For good people

G7
Thank people

          C
For being kind

C
Thank you

          F
For doing your thing

          G7
And thank me

          C
For doing mine
[Instrumental Break] C G7 C F G7 C G7 C F G7 C [Verse 5]
C
So here we are

      G7
All together

G7
But in the end

          C
We’ll be alone

C
So let’s agree

            F
It would be better

            G7
If we could all just

     C
Get along
[Out-Chorus]
