[Verse 1]
       D                                             Bm
I give thanks again that long nights, though they’re lonely,
        D                                     A
they’re lit by stars, they end with suns that climb
        D                             Bm
and the moon will back me up on this. Just look up.
         Em              G                   D
“But the moon won’t take you out to wine and dine.”
 
[Bridge]
  F#m                               Bm
I know, but there her hand is on my shoulder.
           G                                   D
“But every evening we still hear you whine and whine.”
        F#m                              Bm
I know, I know, but, like a sibling, I neglect her
       G                                   A
but we have no choice. I’m hers and she is mine
           F#m                                   Bm
and she is yours and you are hers and we’re each other’s.
         G                                    D
“Oh shut up, Phil. You’re just shouting empty rhymes.”
  F#m                 Bm
I know. The world is alone.
                G                  A
This light’s on loan until we have grown
 
[Verse 2]
     D                                      Bm
old enough to pay it back with our gruesome rotting
        D                                   A
and our lives are just long saggings of the spine
          D                                  Bm
so here I sit, hunched over my candle in the dark night,
      Em             G             D
thanksgiving, here I hug my sorrow tight.
