Tab: "I will not take these things for granted"

All guitars are capoed at second fret.
Intro and verses:
Gmaj7
|--------------------------------------------------|
|-------------(0)----------------------------------|
|--------------0-----------------------0-----------|
|--------4-----------4-----------4-----------4-----|
|--5-----------------------5-----------------------|
|-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----3-----0--|
Fmaj7
|--------------------------------------------------|
|-------------(1)----------------------------------|
|--------------0-----------------------0-----------|
|--------2-----------2-----------2-----------2--0--|
|--3-----------------------3-----------------------|
|-----1-----1-----1-----1-----1-----1-----1--------|
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:
|-------------|
|--0-------0--|
|--1--1h2--1--|
|--2--2----2--|
|--2--2----2--|
|--0--0----0--|
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

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official TOAD THE WET SPROCKET tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
