INTRO:      D5      A5      D5      A5 

      D5 
1.      Well, a lot of things have happened, since the last time we spoke 
      A5 
      Some of them are funny,  And some of them ain?t no joke 
      D5                                                             
      And I trust you will forgive me If I lay it on the line,  
         A5 
        I always thought you were a friend of mine. 
      E5        G5            D5            A5             
      And sometimes I think about you,        
         E5                         D5               G5                     D5        A5 
        I wonder how you?re doing now, And what you?re going thru. 
 
Chorus1:
              A5            G5            D5            G5             
      Cause the last time I saw you, We were playing with fire,  
            A5            G5            D5                  G5 
      We were loaded with passion , And a burning desire,  
      A5                        G5            D5                  G5            A5 
      For every breath, for every day of living,       This is myyy thanksgiving. 
 
2.      Now the trouble with you and me my friend, is the trouble with this nation 

      Too many blessings, too little appreciation,  

      Now I know that kind of notion, well it just ain?t cool, so send me back to Sunday school. 

      Cause I?m tired of waiting for reason to arrive,  

      It?s too long we?ve been living these unexamined lives 
 
Chorus2: 

      Cause I got great expectations, I got family and friends 

      I got satisfying work, I got a back that bends,  

      For every breath, for every day of living,      This is my thanksgiving. 
 
Bridge:
      G5                  D5                              A5 
      And have you notice that an angry man, can only get so far 
      G5                                          D5            A5 
      Until he reconciles the way he thinks things ought to be, with the way things are. 
 
3.      Here in this fragmented world, I still believe, In learning how to give love, And how to receive it,  
      And I would not be among those to abuse this privilege; Sometimes you get the best light from the burning bridge. 
      And I don?t mind saying that I still love it all; I wallowed in the springtime, now I?m welcoming the fall. 
 
Chorus3:   
      For every moment of joy, for every hour of fear 
      For every winding road that brought me here 
      For every breath, for every day of living 
      This is my thanksgiving. 
       
ENDING: 
      For every one who helped me start,  
        And for everything that broke my heart 
      For every breath, for every day of living 
      This is my thanksgiving.
