All guitars are capoed at second fret. 
Intro and verses: 
 
Gmaj7

Fmaj7

The notes in parenthesis are only played during the verses. During 
the secong and third verses, another guitar comes in and strumg G-F  
over these two figures. 
 
At the end of the verses, the last measure is an E chord changing  
to Esus, and back again to E:

For the chorus, with the lines "I will not take these things...", 
the chords are 
 
C                                G 
I will not take these things for granted 
 
C          D                 G 
I will not take these things... 
 
The second guitar just picks through these chords, while the first one 
strums them. 
 
Then the second verse, same guitar as the first, but starting on the  
Fmaj7 chord, not the Gmaj7  
 
 
After the second verse is the prechorus, "I'm listening...", which is 
simply Asus2 - E, repeated, and then ending on a G: 
 
 
The second chorus is much the same as the first: 
 
C                                G 
I will not take these things for granted 
 
C          D                     G 
I will not take these things for granted 
 
C                                Em 
I will not take these things for granted 
 
C          D                 G 
I will not take these things... 
 
The last verse and prechorus are the same as before. The ending 
chorus - solo is just the below line, played over C - G, repeated 
until the fade out. 
 
C (played 3x)                      C          G
