[A]I'll be [D]there for [E]you When the rain starts to pour
[A]I'll be [D]there for [E]you Like I've been there before

But she [G]didn't tell you [D]when the world has brought you down to your [E]knees that
[A]I'll be [D]there for [E]you When the rain starts to pour
[A]I'll be [D]there for [E]you Like I've been there before

[G]Someone I'll [D]always laugh with, [E]even under the [D]worst I'm [E]best with [F#m]you
[G]It's like you're [Bm]always stuck in [A]second gear
When it [G]hasn't been your day, your week, your [D]month, or even your [E]year but
