verse 1 
     C 
Well can't you feel it in your bones 
 Csus 
Something isn't right here 
 C 
Something that you've always known 
                   Am7    F2 
But you don't know why 

       C 
'Cause every time the sun goes down 
   Csus 
We face another night here 
C 
Waiting for the world to spin around 
           Am7    F2 
Just to survive 

 
    Am7 
But when you see the morning sun 
 Gsus 
Burning through a silver mist 
 Am7 
Don't you want to thank someone? 
 F2                             C 
Don't you want to thank someone for this?

Verse 2:
 
     C 
Well have you ever wondered why 
    Csus 
In spite of all that's wrong here 
        C 
There's still so much that goes so right 
            Am7      F2 
And beauty abounds? 

       C 
'Cause sometimes when you walk outside 
        Csus 
Oh the air is full of song here 
     C 
The thunder rolls and the baby sighs 
                       Am7           F2 
And the rain comes down the rain comes down 

 
    Am7 
And when you see the spring has come 
       Gsus 
And it warms you like a mother's kiss 
Am7 
Don't you want to thank someone?

Don't you want to thank someone for this?

Verse 3:
   C 
I used to be a little boy 
    Csus 
As golden as a sunrise 
C 
Breaking over illinois 
                  Am7     F2 
When the corn was tall 

          C 
Yeah, but every little boy grows up 
         Csus 
And he's haunted by the heart that died 
C 
Longing for the world that was 
            Am7    F2 
Before the fall 

 
 Am7 
Oh, but then forgiveness comes 
  Gsus 
A grace that I cannot resist 
    Am7 
And I just want to thank someone 
F2                                C 
I just want to thank someone for this

Bridge:
    Am7 
Now I can see the world is charged 
     Gsus 
It's glimmering with promises 
 F2 
Written in a script of stars 
 Em7 
Dripping from prophets' lips 

    Am7 
But still, my thirst is never slaked 
     Gsus 
I am hounded by a restlessness 
    F2 
I'm eaten by this endless ache 
    Em7 
But still I will give thanks for this 

             Am7 
'Cause I can see it in the seas of wheat 
      Gsus 
I can feel it when the horses run 
     F2 
It's howling in the snowy peaks 
     Em7 
It's blazing in the midnight sun 

Am7 
Just behind a veil of wind 
          Gsus 
A million angels waiting in the wings 
   F2 
A swirling storm of cherubim 
         Em7 
Making ready for the reckoning 

   Am7           Gsus 
Oh, how long, how long? 
  F2             Gsus 
Oh, sing on, sing on 

Verse 4:
     C 
And when the world is new again 
        Csus 
And the children of the king 
     C 
Are ancient in their youth again 
             Am7 
Maybe it's a better thing 
  F2 
A better thing 
      C 
To be more than merely innocent 
          Csus 
But to be broken then redeemed by love 
C 
Maybe this old world is bent 
                      Am7 
But it's waking up 
              F2 
And I'm waking up 


       Am7 
'Cause I can hear the voice of one 
     Gsus 
He's crying in the wilderness 
      Am7 
"Make ready for the kingdom come" 
 F2                                C 
Don't you want to thank someone for this? 
                F2 
To thank someone for this
