Capo 2nd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
One part of me
Wants to tell you everything
One part just needs the quiet
And if Im 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 havent found
But if its frightening
Ill bear the cold
And on the telephone
You offer warm asylum
Pre-chorus
Im 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
Im 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
