[Verse 1]
So no one told you life was gon- na be this way
Your jobs a joke, you're broke, your love life's D. O. A.
[Prechorus 1]
It's like you're al-ways stuck in se-cond gear
And it ha-sn't been your day, your week, your month,
or e-ven your year
but
[Chorus]
I'll be there for you +
Wh-en the rain starts to po-ur
I'll be there for you +
Like I've been the-re be-fo-re
I'll be there for you +
'Cuz you 're the-re for me too...
[Verse 2]
You're still in bed at ten
And work be-gan at eight
You've burned your break-fast
So far... things are go-in' great
[Prechorus 2]
Your mo-ther warned you there'd be days like these
Oh but she did- n't tell you when the world has brought
you down to your knees that...
[Chorus]
I'll be there for you +
Wh-en the rain starts to po-ur
I'll be there for you +
Like I've been the-re be-fo-re
I'll be there for you +
'Cuz you 're the-re for me too...
[Bridge]
No one could e-ver know me
No one could e-ver see me
Seems you're the o-nly one who knows
What it's like to be me
Some-one to face the day with
Make it through all the rest with
Some-one I'll al-ways laugh with
E-ven at my worst I'm best with you, yeah
[Solo]
[Prechorus 1]
It's like you're al-ways stuck in se-cond gear
A-nd it ha- sn't been your day, your week, your month,
or e-ven your year...
[Chorus]
I'll be there for you +
Wh-en the rain starts to po-ur
I'll be there for you +
Like I've been the-re be-fo-re
I'll be there for you +
'Cuz you 're the-re for me too...
[Chorus]
I'll be there for you +
'Cuz you 're the-re for me too...
I'll be there for you +
'Cuz you 're the-re for me too...
I'll be there for you +
'Cuz you 're the-re for me too...
