Em G D
[Verse 1]
D Bm
I give thanks again that long nights, though they’re lonely,
D A
they’re lit by stars, they end with suns that climb
D Bm
and the moon will back me up on this. Just look up.
Em G D
“But the moon won’t take you out to wine and dine.”
[Bridge]
F#m Bm
I know, but there her hand is on my shoulder.
G D
“But every evening we still hear you whine and whine.”
F#m Bm
I know, I know, but, like a sibling, I neglect her
G A
but we have no choice. I’m hers and she is mine
F#m Bm
and she is yours and you are hers and we’re each other’s.
G D
“Oh shut up, Phil. You’re just shouting empty rhymes.”
F#m Bm
I know. The world is alone.
G A
This light’s on loan until we have grown
[Verse 2]
D Bm
old enough to pay it back with our gruesome rotting
D A
and our lives are just long saggings of the spine
D Bm
so here I sit, hunched over my candle in the dark night,
Em G D
thanksgiving, here I hug my sorrow tight.
