I Will Not Take These Things For Granted

Capo 2



F               

One part of me

                     G          F

Wants to tell you everything

                        G

One part just needs the quiet

              F

And if I’m lonely here

        G

And only here

                F

And on the telephone

                E

You offer reassurance



C                               G

I will not take these things for granted

C           D           G

I will not take these things…



F

How can I hold a part of me…

                  G

That only you can carry

F                             G

It needs a strength I haven’t found

            F

But if it’s frightening

              G

I’ll bear the cold

            F

And on the telephone

               E

You offer warm asylum



Pre-chorus:

A

I’m listening

A/F#            E

Flowers in the garden

                A

Laughter in the halls

A/F#            G

Children in the park



Chorus:

C                               G

I will not take these things for granted

C                               G

I will not take these things for granted

C                               G

I will not take these things for granted

C           D                G        F

I will not take these things…anymore 

 

   F

To crawl inside the wire

                   G

And feel something near me

F               G

To feel this accepting

           F

That it is lonely here

         G

But not alone

           F

But on the telephone

            E

You offer visions dancing



Pre-chorus:

A

I’m listening

             E

Music in the bedroom

                A

Laughter in the hall

                E

Diamonds in the ocean

               A

Singing by the fire

                    E

Running through the forest

                A

Standing in the wind

               G

Rolling canyons



Chorus:

C                               G

I will not take these things for granted

C                               G

I will not take these things for granted

C                               G

I will not take these things for granted

C           D                G        F

I will not take these things…anymore
