I Will Not Take These Things For Granted Tab

by Toad The Wet Sprocket


Capo 2

		
One part of me
		     		
Wants to tell you everything
			
One part just needs the quiet
	      
And if I’m lonely here
	
And only here
		
And on the telephone
		
You offer reassurance

				
I will not take these things for granted
	    		
I will not take these things…

How can I hold a part of me…
That only you can carry
It needs a strength I haven’t found
But if it’s frightening
I’ll bear the cold
And on the telephone
You offer warm asylum

Pre-chorus:

I’m listening
		
Flowers in the garden
		
Laughter in the halls
		
Children in the park

Chorus:
				
I will not take these things for granted
				

	    		
I will not take these things…anymore
 
To crawl inside the wire
And feel something near me
To feel this accepting
That it is lonely here
But not alone
But on the telephone
You offer visions dancing

Pre-chorus:
I’m listening
Music in the bedroom
Laughter in the hall
Diamonds in the ocean
Singing by the fire
Running through the forest
Standing in the wind
Rolling canyons

(Repeat Chorus)
