Thanksgiving Prayer chords by Andrew Savage

🎸 Verse 1:
   Gm
My money melts like sugar in the shower when I don't sing
        B7                               G                             Gm
Like a broken mockingbird that's put in pawn and traded in for diamond jewelry
      Gm
That shines but only briefly like the golden heart of fall
          B7                                  G                                Gm
Where the afternoons wane quickly and your breath floats in the final beams of evening


🎸 Verse 2:
       Gm
But I don't need dollars, pounds, or pesos to know I Am rich
       B7                             G                               Gm
I got people who allow themselves to love me and are insane enough to be loved
         Gm
And it's funny to think how much time we quietly spend apart
           B7                           G
You don't need to be a witness to have witness
                             Gm
And I'm with you now, that's certain

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
Gm              C                        B7
    Civilize me   from the wilderness of    constant mercy
     G7                Gm
    Guarding a nursery of life
Gm                        C                   B7
    That drifts inside me   like a caravan of    floating candles
     G7                          Gm
    Trying not to capsize in the night


🎸 Chorus:
             G          Gm
    Listen close to the dark
               G            Gm
    And write down what it says
              G             G
    Like its words are your own
              G9      G                          (Gm)
    And dig a hole inside yourself and bury them there


🎸 Instrumental:
Gm | Gm | Gm | Gm |


🎸 Verse 2:
      Gm
Thanksgiving Day is every day I write a song like this
       B7                                  G                             Gm
When I get down on all four paws and drag myself by my own jaws for the feeling
      Gm
And a wise woman once told me no one has a single voice
          B7                      G
You're a chorus harmonizing or opposing voices rising
       Gm
Or a string of strangers waiting for their turn to speak
   Gm
So every day just ask yourself who would you rather be
     B7                          G                            Gm
A conductor or a cop or a night watchmen slowly strolling an asylum


🎸 Pre-Chorus:
Gm              C                        B7
    Civilize me   from the wilderness of    constant mercy
    G7                           Gm
    Cut like a kite string in a storm
Gm                        C                   B7
    That drifts inside me   like a caravan of    floating candles
    G7                      Gm
    Huddled in clusters to keep warm


🎸 Chorus:
           G           Gm
    At the end of the hunt
              G            Gm
    When you cut what you grow
              G             G
    Will you have what you want
                    G9       G                          (Gm)
    And feast when fear is fleeced from the sheets of a ghost


🎸 Instrumental:
Gm | Gm |
Gm | Gm | B7 | G | Gm | Gm |
Gm | C  | B7 | G | Gm |


🎸 Chorus:
Gm           G         Gm
    When you open your eyes
             G          Gm
    To the sound of the dawn
              G                 G
    Peel a dream off your brain
                G9          G                       Gm
    A film that takes the shape of the surface you dry it on


🎸 Outro:
Gm           G           Gm
    Like a Thanksgiving prayer
             G              Gm
    You can taste it in the air
