Gratitude
[Intro]
Oh!

[Verse 1]
Life's been so good to me, has it been good to you?
Has it been everything that you expected it to be?
Was it as good for you as it was good for me?
& was it everything that it was all set up to be?

[Post-Chorus]
Now is that gratitude? Oh
Now is that gratitude?

[Verse 2]
Now is that gratitude or is it really love?
Some kind of reality that fits just like a glove?
Now is that gratitude for everything I've done?
Or is it something else that's got me on the run?

[Chorus]
In the middle of a big tornado, on the tip of everyone's tongue
In the belly of a giant whale, all the girls just wanna have fun
In the look of a frightened neighbour in a big warm bed at night
In a broken elevator, in the teeth of a dog that bites
In the middle of a revolution, in the look of a child's face
In the silence of the dinner table, in the stillness of disgrace!
[Post-Chorus]
Now is that gratitude (I used to eat people like you for breakfast)
Now is that gratitude (I used to fly high up in the sky)
Now is that gratitude (I used to chew up rocks and spit out gravel)
Now is that gratitude (I had a heart as cold as ice)

[Verse 3]
But when I think of you & what you've done to me
You took away my hope, you took away my fantasy
I once had lots of pride, the world was in my hands
I lived way at the top in castles made of sand

[Bridge]
Oh, I dream of you sometimes
Oh, I dream of you sometimes
In-

[Chorus 2]
In the middle of a big tornado, on the tip of everyone's tongue
In the belly of a giant whale, all the girls just wanna have fun
In the look of a frightened neighbour in a big warm bed at night
In a broken elevator, in the teeth of a dog that bites
In the middle of a revolution, in the look of a child's face
In the silence of the dinner table, in the stillness of disgrace!

[Post-Chorus]
Now is that gratitude, oh
Now is that gratitude?
Now is that gratitude, oh
Now is that gratitude?
Oh
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
Life's been so good to me, has it been good to you?
Has it been everything that you expected it to be?
Was it as good for you as it was good for me?
& was it everything that it was all set up to be?

[Chorus 3]
In the middle of a big tornado, on the tip of everyone's tongue
In the belly of a giant whale, all the girls just wanna have fun
In the look of a frightened neighbour in a big warm bed at night
In a broken elevator, in the teeth of a dog that bites
In the middle of a revolution, in the look of a child's face
In the silence of the dinner table, in the stillness of disgrace!

[Chorus 4]
In the middle of a big tornado (Oh)
On the tip of everyone's tongue
In the belly of a giant whale (I dream of you sometimes)
All the girls just wanna have fun
In the look of a frightened neighbour (Oh)
In a big warm bed at night
In a broken elevator (I dream of you sometimes)
In the teeth of a dog that bites
[Outro]
Oh
I dream of you sometimes

Now is that gratitude (Ooh)
Now is that gratitude (Ooh)
Now is that gratitude (Ooh)
Now is that gratitude (Ooh)
Now is that gratitude (Ooh)
Now is that gratitude

Now is that gratitude (Ooh)
Now is that gratitude
