Chorus:
           Gm7 Am A#
Yeah, I'm thankful
                         A# Am Gm7
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
                              A# Am Gm7
Gotta say it's really been a while
                          A# Am Gm7
But now I got back that smile (Smile)
         Gm7 Am A#
I'm so thankful
                          A# Am Gm7
Scratch that, baby, I'm grateful
                             A# Am Gm7
Now you see me shine from a mile
                        A# Am Gm7
Finally got back that smile (Smile)

Gm7
Every day, Groundhog Day
Gm7
Goin' through motions felt so fake
Gm7
Not myself, not my best
Gm7
Felt like I failed the test
Gm7
But every tear has been a lesson
Gm7
Rejection can be God's protection
Gm7
Long hard road to get that redemption
Gm7
But no shortcuts to a blessin'

Chorus

Gm7
I'm 2.0, remodeled
Gm7
Used to be dull, now I sparkle
Gm7
Had a piece of humble pie
Gm7
That ego check saved my life
Gm7
Now I got a smile like Lionel Richie
Gm7
Big and bright, need shades just to see me
Gm7
Tryna stay alive just like I'm the Bee Gees
Gm7
A Mona Lisa masterpiece

Chorus

Gm7
I'm so thankful
Gm7
'Cause I finally, 'cause I finally
Gm7
I'm so thankful
Gm7
'Cause I finally, 'cause I finally

Chorus

Gm7 Am A#
I'm so
A# Am Gm7
Thankful
A# Am Gm7
'Cause I finally
A# Am Gm7
'Cause I finally
Gm7 Am A#
I'm so
A# Am Gm7
Thankful
A# Am Gm7
'Cause I finally
A# Am Gm7
'Cause I finally
