[Intro]
C C/E F C/E C/G G
x2

[Verse 1]
         C  C/E  F  C/E
Familiar highways
           C/G               G
Lined with leaves turned brown
       C  C/E  F
Making my way
 C/E         C/G     G
Back into my hometown

[Pre-Chorus]
      C/E                F          
Funny how this all looks different, 
       C/G           G
but it feels the same
         C/E              F        
Like how life never stops changing 
                C/G         G
but some things never change

[Chorus]
   Am                  G
So fill your plate and fill 
your drink
    G7                   C
And fill this house with family
            F             
The kind of love that all 
      C/E                  G/C      G
these years can’t wash away
          Am           G         
Cause the older that I get I see 
     G7                C
that life is short and bittersweet
      F                  C/G
Thank God for this Thanksgiving Day
