       D                                             Bm7
I give thanks again that long nights though they're lonely

    D                                   A
Are lit by stars and end with suns that climb

         D                                Bm7
And the moon will back me up on this just look up

              Em7                 G               D     A
Yeah, but the moon won't take you out to wine and dine!
[Instrumental] Dmaj7 Bm7 Dmaj7 A [Verse 2]
           D                                       Bm7
Oh yeah, I know, but there her hand is always on my shoulder

                Em7              G                  D
Yeah, but every evening we still hear you whine and whine!

Dmaj7                      Bm7
 But, like a sibling, I neglect her

       D                                   Bm7  A
And we have no choice, I'm hers and she is mine

           D
And she is yours, and you are hers

               Bm7
And we're each others

        Em7                 G              A       D
Oh shut up Phil! We're just shouting empty rhymes!
[Verse 3]
  D                        Bm7/F#                    D    A
I know, I know the world's alone and this light's on loan

   D               Bm7     Em7 G              A
I know, we're all alone, until, until we have grown

     D                                     Bm7
Old enough, grown old enough to pay it back

      D                              A                      Dmaj7
Grown old enough to pay back all our borrowed sunlight, and we've grown
[Instrumental] Bm7 Em7 G D [Outro]
     D                                      Bm7
Old enough to pay it back with our gruesome rotting

        D                                   Bm7   A
And our lives are just long saggings of the spine

          D                                 Bm7
So here I sit hunched over a candle in the dark night

          Em7            G             D
Oh, Thanksgiving, here I hug my sorrow tight
