Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

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)

Instrumental
