[Verse 1]
         D      D/F#
familiar highways
           G                A
lined with leaves turned brown
       D     D/F#
making my way
G       G       A
back to my hometown
      D                  G                 D/F#         A
funny how this all looks different, but it feels the same
         D                G                     D/F#        A
like how life never stops changing, but some things never change
 
[Chorus]
   G                    D
so fill your plate and fill your drink
    A                    D
and fill this house with family
            G                   D                A
the kind of love that all these years can't wash away
            G           D               A      A/Bb           Bm
cause the older that I get I see that life is short and bittersweet
      G            A            D
thank God for this Thanksgiving Day
 
[Verse 2]
         D      D/F#
watching football
         G        A
watching families grow
        D        D/F#
the old kids table
              G        A
all have kids of their own
         D              G            D/F#       A
starting to see my grandfather in my nephews eyes
    D                G                 D/F#       A
mom still can't talk about him and not almost cry
 
[Chorus]
   G                    D
so fill your plate and fill your drink
    A                    D
and fill this house with family
            G                   D                A
the kind of love that all these years can't wash away
            G           D               A       A/Bb          Bm
cause the older that I get I see that life is short and bittersweet
      G                  A        D
thank God for this Thanksgiving Day
 
 
[Outro]
   G                   D
So fill your plate and fill your drink
         A             D
put your dishes in the kitchen sink
           G            D             A
and let the leftover year just wash away
         G                 D                A        A/Bb       Bm
cause we made it through, I do believe, the longest year in history
      G                   A        D
thank God that it's Thanksgiving Day
