[F]
[Bb]
[F]
[Bb] A lot of things have happened since the last time we spoke.
[F] Some of them are funny, some of them ain't no [Bb] joke, and I trust you will forgive me if
I lay it on the line.
[C] [F] I always thought you were a friend of mine.
[C] [Cm] Sometimes [Bb] I think [C] about you.
[F]
[Cm] I wonder [Eb] how you're doing now, [Bb] and what you're going through.
[F] Cause the last [Eb] time I saw you, [Bb] we were playing with fire.
[F] We were loaded [C] with passion, [Eb] and a burning [Bb] desire for [C] every breath.
[Eb] For [Bb] every day of living, [Fm] this is [Cm] my [Eb] last giving.
[Bb]
[F]
[Bb] Now the trouble with you and me, my friend, is the trouble with this nation.
[F] Too many blessings, too little appreciation, [Bb] and I know that kind of notion.
Well, it just ain't cool.
[C]
[F] So send me back to Sunday school.
[Cm] Because I'm tired of waiting [Bb] for reason [F] to arise.
[Cm] It's too long [Eb] we've been living
[Bb] this unexamined life.
[F] Cause I've got great [Eb] expectations.
[Bb] I've got family and friends.
[Fm] I've got [C] satisfying work.
[Eb] I've got a basket [Bb] full [F] of every breath.
[Eb] For [Bb] every day of living, [Fm] this is my [Eb] last giving.
[Bb]
[Eb] Have you noticed [Bb] that an angry man [F] can only get so far?
[Eb] Until he [Bb] reconciles the way he thinks things ought to [F] be with the way things are.
[Bb]
[F]
[Bb]
[F]
[Bb] Here in this fragmented world, you know I still believe [C] in learning how to give [F] love and how to receive it.
[Bb] And I would not be among those who abuse this privilege.
[C] Sometimes you get the best life [F] from a burning bridge.
[Cm] And I don't mind saying [Bb] that I still [F] love it all.
You [Cm] know how I wallowed [Eb] in the springtime.
[Bb] Now I'm welcoming the fall.
For [F] every moment [Eb] of joy, [Bb] every hour of fear, for [Fm] every [C] winding road [Eb] that brought [Bb] me here.
For [C] every breath, [Eb] for [Bb] every day of living, [Fm] this is my [Cm] last giving.
[Gm] [Bb]
[F] For [Eb] everyone [Bb] who helped me start [Fm] and for [Cm] everything [Eb] that broke [Bb] my heart.
For [C] every breath, [Eb] for [Bb] every day of living, [Fm] this is [C] my [F] thanksgiving.
