This is the chord progression of Thanks For Listening by Chris Thile on Piano, Guitar, Ukulele and Keyboard.
[Intro]
F, F
[Verse 1]
F Dm Em Am
It\’s 4 in the morning and you\’re careful not to wake your family up
F Dm Em
Sounds like the driver is early and you try to pay attention when he talks
Am
that\’s his daughter on the dashboard
F Dm
And you hope he\’s this proud of her if she ends up just like him
[intro chorus]
C Am G
Because he seems like a better fella than he thinks he is
[Instrumental]
F Dm Em Am
[Verse 2]
F Dm Em
It was crazy at the airport and you\’d rather read the news than try to talk
Am
to the woman on your right who
F Dm
says \”you don\’t believe that do you?\” You ask why then bite your tongue
Dm
and pay attention till she\’s done
[Chorus]
C Am G
Telling you how this ain\’t the travesty they say it is
C Am G
Even if you don\’t believe that what she\’s telling you is true
Dm Am
You\’re still listening
Dm Em F
To her and him… and me
[Instrumental]
F Dm Em Am
F Dm Em
[Verse 3]
Am
Even now from the Marriott
F Dm
Where you\’re plugging in your laptop and untangling your earbuds
Dm
Let us know when you can hear us
Dm
\’cause my friend your kind of views
[Chorus]
C Am G
Make me feel like we\’re less divided than I fear we are
C Am G
Even if you don\’t believe the hearts we\’re working with are true
Dm Am
You\’re still listening
Dm Em F
To her and him… and me
F G
When it\’s us who should be listening to you
F G
And it\’s me I should be listening to you
C Am G F
And if we travel together only ever down this one way street
[Outro]
| * play G/F or hold F
