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
