I Will Not Take These Things For Granted by Toad The Wet Sprocket
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¦
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:
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
C D G
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)
Instrumental: ||: F Am “ C “ G :||

The notes in parenthesis are only played during the verses. During
the secong and third verses, another guitar comes in and strumg G-F
over these two figures.
At the end of the verses, the last measure is an E chord changing
to Esus, and back again to E:

|--2--2----2--|
|--2--2----2--|
|--0--0----0--|
For the chorus, with the lines "I will not take these things...",
the chords are
C G
I will not take these things for granted
C D G
I will not take these things...
The second guitar just picks through these chords, while the first one
strums them.
Then the second verse, same guitar as the first, but starting on the
Fmaj7 chord, not the Gmaj7.
After the second verse is the prechorus, "I'm listening...", which is
simply Asus2 - E, repeated, and then ending on a G:
The second chorus is much the same as the first:
C G
I will not take these things for granted
C D G
I will not take these things for granted
C Em
I will not take these things for granted
C D G
I will not take these things...
The last verse and prechorus are the same as before. The ending
chorus - solo is just the below line, played over C - G, repeated
until the fade out.
C (played 3x) C G
