Dont You Want To Thank Someone Chords

(ver. 1)
Andrew Peterson
[Intro]
|C      |Csus     |Am7     |       |
|C      |Csus     |Am7     |F2     |

[Verse 1]
     C
Well can't you feel it in your bones
 Csus
Something isn't right here
 C
Something that you've always known
                   Am7    F2
But you don't know why

       C
'Cause every time the sun goes down
   Csus
We face another night here
C
Waiting for the world to spin around
           Am7    F2
Just to survive

[Chorus 1]
    Am7
But when you see the morning sun
 Gsus
Burning through a silver mist
 Am7
Don't you want to thank someone?
 F2                             C
Don't you want to thank someone for this?

[Instrumental]
|C      |       |F2       |        |

[Verse 2]
     C
Well have you ever wondered why
    Csus
In spite of all that's wrong here
        C
There's still so much that goes so right
            Am7      F2
And beauty abounds?

       C
'Cause sometimes when you walk outside
        Csus
Oh the air is full of song here
     C
The thunder rolls and the baby sighs
                       Am7           F2
And the rain comes down the rain comes down

[Chorus 2]
    Am7
And when you see the spring has come
       Gsus
And it warms you like a mother's kiss
Am7
Don't you want to thank someone?
F2                                   C
Don't you want to thank someone for this?

[Interlude]
C                       F2
        to thank someone for this
   C
oh don't you want to thank someone
                               F2
don't you want to thank someone for this

[Verse 3]
   C
I used to be a little boy
    Csus
As golden as a sunrise
C
Breaking over illinois
                  Am7     F2
When the corn was tall

          C
Yeah, but every little boy grows up
         Csus
And he's haunted by the heart that died
C
Longing for the world that was
            Am7    F2
Before the fall

[Chorus 3]
 Am7
Oh, but then forgiveness comes
  Gsus
A grace that I cannot resist
    Am7
And I just want to thank someone
F2                                C
I just want to thank someone for this

[Instrumental]
|C        |        |F2      |         |
|C        |        |F2      |         |
|Am7      |        |Gsus    |         |
|F2       |        |Em7     |         |

[Bridge]
    Am7
Now I can see the world is charged
     Gsus
It's glimmering with promises
 F2
Written in a script of stars
 Em7
Dripping from prophets' lips

    Am7
But still, my thirst is never slaked
     Gsus
I am hounded by a restlessness
    F2
I'm eaten by this endless ache
    Em7
But still I will give thanks for this

             Am7
'Cause I can see it in the seas of wheat
      Gsus
I can feel it when the horses run
     F2
It's howling in the snowy peaks
     Em7
It's blazing in the midnight sun

Am7
Just behind a veil of wind
          Gsus
A million angels waiting in the wings
   F2
A swirling storm of cherubim
         Em7
Making ready for the reckoning

   Am7           Gsus
Oh, how long, how long?
  F2             Gsus
Oh, sing on, sing on

[Verse 4]
     C
And when the world is new again
        Csus
And the children of the king
     C
Are ancient in their youth again
             Am7
Maybe it's a better thing
  F2
A better thing
      C
To be more than merely innocent
          Csus
But to be broken then redeemed by love
C
Maybe this old world is bent
                      Am7
But it's waking up
              F2
And I'm waking up

[Chorus 4]
       Am7
'Cause I can hear the voice of one
     Gsus
He's crying in the wilderness
      Am7
"Make ready for the kingdom come"
 F2                                C
Don't you want to thank someone for this?
                F2
To thank someone for this

[Ending]
      C
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
     F2
Hallalujah! Hallelujah!
|C          |           |F2         |          |(pretty much for 3 minutes)
