Take It For Granted by Jeffrey Lewis
Take It For Granted
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
D E
There’s that old store; my regular spot
C G
Sometimes I go there; other times not
D E
It’s been there so long that’s just the way that it is
C G
I don’t want to think that it’ll go out of biz’
D E
I don’t want to go there ‘cause it may be the last time
C G
I just want it to be there if I happen to pass by
D
That’s what makes it good
E
That’s what makes it okay
C G
When I don’t have to work or stress to just make it stay
D E
I don’t want it to be there because I fought or demanded
C G
I just want to love it and take it for granted
D E C G
[Verse 2]
D E
I never felt charming and it always felt unfair
C G
That we met at a concert or a party or somewhere
D E
Soon I don’t know whose house is where my gray hooded shirt is
C G
‘Cause I guess that we’re dating or whatever the word is
D E
And I’m glad when we are eating and discussing our plans
C G
I know already we'll be hanging out next week in advance
D E
That’s what makes us relax, that's what makes it a life
C G
When you don’t have to worry about these things every night
D E
It’s not a very good fire if it just stays when you fanned it
C G
What’s the point if we can’t just take each other for granted
D E C G
[Bridge]
C G A
I’ve got this apartment that could turn into ash
C G D
I’ve got backups and copies that can all burn and crash
C G A
I’ve got this old car but it could fly off the road
G A
I’ve got these two eyeballs but they both might explode
[Verse 3]
D E
I’ve got all my limbs but will I have them forever
C G
I’ve got fingers here that any random doorhinge could sever
D E
But the building that’s standing shuns the bricks it stood up with
C G
And the family still living are the ones to put up with
D E
Cuz you can put down a blanket anywhere on this planet
C G
But you'll become very anxious unless you take it for granted
D E
The world is so fragile every moment's enchanted
C G
But it’s all a sad battle if I can’t take it for granted
D E
C G
I just want to love it and to take it for granted
D E C G
