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)
