Intro Am G (twice)
|
|
VERSE
|
Dm Am G Am
|
Took her to a party and danced with the host
|
Took her to a restaurant and treat her like a ghost
|
Took her to a movie and looked at another screen
|
Paid for entertainment she'd already seen
|
|
BRIDGE
|
Bm G D A
|
I get so hungry, I'm eating my heart out
|
Bm G D A
|
oooh I felt it go empty I'm wondering what I can be thinking about
|
|
CHORUS 1
|
Dm Am G Am
|
But you can't take love for granted, underneath another skin
|
Dm Am G Am
|
Can't take love for granted, up behind another grin
|
|
Demonstrated passion in a grip hard to shake
|
Took up every fashion till everything went fake
|
Pulled a coat over her shoulder, cracked a joke over and over
|
Watch the rain turn the night colder, stared into the headlight beam
|
|
BRIDGE
|
I get so wired I'm making all the wrong connections
|
And I get so tired I'm picking up bad affections
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS 1
|
|
CHORUS 2
|
Can't take love for granted, can't take love for granted,
|
Can't take love for granted, can't take love for granted,
|
|
Instrumental section on bridge chords, then intro repeat
|
|
Watch the swans out on the lake, circle circle circle (circle circle)
|
Talk and talk and talk around it (circle circle)
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS 1 then CHORUS 2 then CHORUS 1 twice (fade)
|

You can't take love for granted
