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

I’m listening

Flowers in the garden

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

I will not take these things for granted

I will not take these things for granted

I will not take these things…anymore
