G               B   C
Forgive me this sin
G             B   C
I'm falling over
G                B   C
flashing ten grands
G              B   C
rolling in clover
G            B   C
so ready to get up
G                B   C
and eager to please
G            B       C
when it's late in the day
      B              C           G           B     C
in the middle of the life  of the twentieth century

[Pre-Chorus]
Bb
I never got it
C
I never got it before
Cm  Eb  Bb
hey hello
Bb     F      Cm
why do you get on
Eb  Cm    Bb
so much undone
             F    G
just like it was before

[Chorus]
G     D                Em        C
we both got a lot to be thankful for
G   D         Em                 C
we both got a lot to be thankful for
[G  B  C  x2]

[Verse 2]
G             B   C
Forgive me my tongue
G                      B    C
doesn't know what it's doing
G               B   C
used to get washed out
           G               B   C
now it's undisciplined and crude
  G              B    C
I'm losing my language
G           B    C
call it a truce
       G                  B           C
and the shapes of the thoughts in my head
       G                       B       C
aren't right for the words I've got to use

[Pre-Chorus]
Bb
I got it never
C
never got out before
Cm  Eb Bb
hey hello
Bb     F      Cm
why do you get on
Eb  Cm    Bb
so much undone
             F          G
still you shine like the sun

[Chorus]
G     D       Em        C
we both got a lot to be thankful for
G   D         Em         C
we both got a lot to be thankful for

[Verse 3]
[Short Instrumental]
A   D   A
A         D   A
white dwarf
A       D   A
red giant
A              D   A
it's empty in space
A                 D              A
and where there's matter there's violence

[Pre-Chorus]
C
I never got it
D                 F
I never got it before
C   G  Dm
hey hello
