I'll Be There for You

[Intro] = [Riff 1] [Riff 2]

Verse 1:
                                 Em
I guess this time you're really leaving,
G                                D
  I heard your suitcase say goodbye.
                             Em
Well as my broken heart lies    bleeding,
G                             D
  You say true love, it's suicide.

                                 Em
You say you've cried a thousand rivers
G                          D
  And now you're swimming for the shore.
                            Em
You left me drowning in my tears
G                           A
  And you won't save me anymore.
    A!
I pray to God you'll give me one more chance, girl.

Chorus:
D
  I'll be there for you,
  Bm
These five words I swear to you.
           G
When you breathe I want to be the air for you,
A         C    G  D ->
I'll be there for you.

D
  I'd live and I'd die for you,
Bm
  Steal the sun from the sky for you.
 G
Words can't say what a love can do,
A         C    G  D
I'll be there for you.

Verse 2:
                                 Em
I know you know, we've had some good times,
G                                  D
  Now they have their own hiding place.
                       Em
I can't promise you tomorrow
G                             A
  But I can't buy back yesterday.

                                 G
And baby, you know my hands are dirty
(Oh woman, you know my hands are dirty)
A                               D   A/C#
  But I wanted to be your Valentine.
Bm                                 G
  I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby,
                                A
When you get drunk I'll be the wine.

[Chorus]

Instrumental:
Bm | G | A | D  - x2

Verse 3: (part 2 only)
                                  G
And I wasn't there when you were happy,
(I wasn't there to make you happy)
A                               D   A/C#
  I wasn't there when you were down.
Bm                            G
  I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby,
                                       A
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out.
