Don Henley - My Thanksgiving Chords

[Intro]
| A      | A      | E      | E      |
| A      | A      | E      | E      |
 
 
[Verse 1]
A
Well, a lot of things have happened since the last time we spoke
E
 Some of them are funny, some of 'em ain't no joke
     A
And I trust you will forgive me if I lay it on the line
E
 I always thought you were a friend of mine
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
    Bmadd11     A           E
And sometimes I think about you
Bmadd11       Dsus2
 I wonder how you're doing now
Asus4                  A
 And what you're going through
 
 
[Chorus 1]
    E           Dsus2           A            Dsus2
The last time I saw you we were playing with fire
        Em          Bmadd11       Dsus2     A
We were loaded with passion and a burning desire
         E       Dsus2      A      Dsus2
For every breath, for every day of living
            Em  Bmadd11  Dsus2  A
And this is my     Thanksgiving
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
| Esus4    | Esus4  E | Esus4    | E        |
 
 
[Verse 2]
       A
Now the trouble with you and me, my friend, is the trouble with this nation
E
 Too many blessings, too little appreciation
    A
And I know that kind of notion—well, it just ain't cool
E
 So send me back to Sunday school
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
            Bmadd11              A           E
Because I'm tired of waiting for reason to arrive
     Bmadd11             Dsus2
It's too long we've been living
Asus4            A
These unexamined lives
 
 
[Chorus 2]
         E          Dsus2             A          Dsus2
I've got great expectations, I've got family and friends
         Em         Bmadd11          Dsus2     A
I've got satisfying work, I've got a back that bends
         E       Dsus2      A      Dsus2
For every breath, for every day of living
            Em  Bmadd11  Dsus2  A
And this is my     Thanksgiving
 
 
[Bridge]
Dsus2                         A
 And have you noticed that an angry man
E
 Can only get so far
Dsus2                    A
 Until he reconciles the way he thinks things ought to be
E
 With the way things are
 
 
[Instrumental]
| A      | A      | E      | E      |
| A      | A      | E      | E      |
 
 
[Verse 3]
A
 Here in this fragmented world, I still believe
E
 In learning how to give love, and how to receive it
      A
And I would not be among those who abuse this privilege
    E
Sometimes you get the best light from a burning bridge
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Bmadd11                        A              E
 And I don't mind saying that I still love it all
Bmadd11            Dsus2
I wallowed in the springtime
        Asus4         A
Now I'm welcoming the fall
 
 
[Chorus 3]
          E         Dsus2      A       Dsus2
For every moment of joy, every hour of fear
          Em      Bmadd11   Dsus2      A
For every winding road that brought me here
         E       Dsus2      A      Dsus2
For every breath, for every day of living
            Em  Bmadd11  Dsus2  A
And this is my     Thanksgiving
    E    Dsus2   A          Dsus2
For everyone who helped me start
        Em   Bmadd11    Dsus2    A
And for everything that broke my heart
         E       Dsus2      A      Dsus2
For every breath, for every day of living
            Em  Bmadd11  Dsus2  A
And this is my     Thanksgiving
