**Backstory**
Thankful Operator is a band born of the minds of four childhood friends from the small town of Copley, Ohio. These four artists – Paul Thompson (vocals/guitar), Max Harris (bass), Andy Newman (drums), and Derek Fisher (lead guitar) – first began jamming together in their parents’ garages during their high school years.

_C Am G D_
Living under the midnight sun, where reality is on the run
_C Am G D_
Dreams are walking hand in hand, etching memories on the sand

Underneath the midnight sun, we’re not the only ones
_G D_
Feeling like the world’s begun, under the midnight sun

_C Am G D_
Walking through the silent night, chasing shadows out of sight
_C Am G D_
With every breath, we take a stand, painting portraits on the land

Underneath the midnight sun, we find where we belong
_G D_
Making music, singing songs, under the midnight sun
