lyrics

Intro / Interlude
|Am - Em - | D7 - - - | G - - - |

[VERSE]
C D G
I'm thankful for the days / for the time to waste
C D G
for the moments together / longed for while apart
C D Em
for the long quiet mornings / for the endless dance
A7 D7 G G
I believe we are a lucky bunch
[Verse2]
C D G
I'm thankful for the miles / that lie ahead
C D G
the memories behinds us / that tell the stories of where those miles've lead
C D Em
each hour a paragraph / each day a page
A7 D7 G
in the story of an age

[CHORUS]
Am Em D C Am Em D
so many false starts, distractions and illusions. unproductive chapters
Am Em D C Am Em D G
Ten thousand seven hundred eighty seven pages / I wasted / without you

[Jam] [ | G - - - | C - - - | ] Repeat

[Interlude]
|Am - Em - | D7 - - - | G - - - |
[VERSE3]
C D G
I'm even thankful for / when you grimace and say
C D G
"you talk too much in the morning" / but later in the day
C D Em
you'll laugh and say it again with a smile / and I'll act chagrined
A7 D7 G
and our dance continues / ever again

[Verse4]
C D G
thankful doesn't cover / it is a lacking word
C D G
a poor approximation / a stretched metaphor
C D G
but then every word is / when measured against
A7 D7 G
the power and the glory of the moment

[Chorus] Repeat

C G D Am C G D
Ten thousand, seven hundred eighty seven.
C G D Am C G D
Ten thousand, seven hundred eighty seven. Days to you
