[Intro]
D D/F# G D/F# D/B A
D D/F# G D/F# D/A Asus
 
[Verse 1]
          D    D/F#   D/G
Familiar highways
   D/F#     Bm           A
lined with leaves turned brown
          D    D/F#   D/G
making my way
   D/F#     Bm           A
back into my hometown
      D/F#                 G
funny how this all looks different
        Asus      A
but it feels the same
         D/F#               G
like how life never stops changing
          Asus         A
but some things never change
 
[Chorus]
   G/B                 D/A
So fill your plate and fill your drink
     A                    D      D/F#
and fill this house with family
            G/B                  D               Asus      A
the kind of love that all these years can't wash away
           G/B         D/A             A                Bm            A
cause the older that I get I see that life is short and bitter-sweet
      G                Asus
thank God for this Thanksgiving Day
 
[Interlude]
D D/F# G D/F# D/B A
D D/F# G D/F# D/A Asus
 
[Verse 2]
         D    D/F#   D/G
Watching football
D/F#     Bm       A
watching families grow
              D    D/F#   D/G
the old kids' table
     D/F#     Bm        A
all have kids of their own
         D/F#           G
starting to see my grandfather
       Asus         A
in my nephews eyes
    D/F#              G
Mom still can't talk about him
        Asus        A
and not almost cry
 
[Chorus]
   G                   D
So fill your plate and fill your drink
     A                    D      D/F#
and fill this house with family
            G/B             D                 Asus      A
the kind of love a thousand miles can't wash away
           G/B         D/A             A      F#/Bb      Bm            A
cause the older that I get I see that life is short and bitter-sweet
      G                Asus
thank God for this Thanksgiving Day

[Outro]
   G/B                 D/A
So fill your plate and fill your drink
     A                    D
put your dishes in the kitchen sink
            G/B        D/A            Asus      A
and let the left-over year just wash away
           G/B            D/A                A      F#/Bb     Bm
cause we made it through, I do believe, the longest year in history
      G                Asus
thank God that it's Thanksgiving Day
