Verse 1: You′ve got your friends and your places. That′s where you feel the safest. Boy don′t you see. I′m stanind here in the shadows, learning how to let love go, When it has to be free. You′ve got your castles in the clouds. You don′t need me now.
Chorus: But if, you should ever fall, think you′ve lost it all. I will be there for you. And if you should lose your faith, the whole world turns away from you, baby. One thing′s still true. (I will be there, 2x on chorus #3). I will be there for you.
Verse 2: I read the news in the paper, all the fear and the hatred. Baby, who can you trust? But I see the truth through the madness. Here′s my love if you′ll have it, but if you don′t want that much, go as far as you can, as long as you know.
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge: And if the time should come, when all you depend upon is gone, just looke around and I′ll be there.
I guess this time you′re really leaving I heard your suitcase say goodbye And as my broken heart lies bleeding You say true love it′s suicide
You say you′re cried a thousand rivers And now you′re swimming for the shore You left me drowning in my tears And you won′t save me anymore
Now I′m praying to God you′ll give me one more chance, girl
I′ll be there for you These five words I swear to you When you breathe I want to be the air for you I′ll be there for you I′d live and I′d die for you Steal the sun from the sky for you Words can′t say what a love can do I′ll be there for you
I know you know we′ve had some good times Now they have their own hiding place I can promise you tomorrow But I can′t buy back yesterday
And Baby you know my hands are dirty But I wanted to be your valentine I′ll be the water when you get thirsty, baby When you get drunk, I′ll be the wine
I′ll be there for you These five words I swear to you When you breathe I want to be the air for you I′ll be there for you I′d live and I′d die for you Steal the sun from the sky for you Words can′t say what a love can do I′ll be there for you
[Solo]
And I wasn′t there when you were happy I wasn′t there when you were down I didn′t mean to miss your birthday, baby I wish I′d seen you blow those candles out
I′ll be there for you These five words I swear to you When you breathe I want to be the air for you I′ll be there for you I′d live and I′d die for you Steal the sun from the sky for you Words can′t say what a love can do I′ll be there for you
So no one told you life was gonna be this way *clap*clap*clap*clap* Your job′s a joke, you′re broke, your love life′s DOA
It′s like you′re always stuck in second gear When it hasn′t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year
but..
I′ll be there for you When the rain starts to pour I′ll be there for you Like I′ve been there before I′ll be there for you ′Cuz you′re there for me too...
You′re still in bed at ten and work began at eight You′ve burned your breakfast so far... things are goin′ great
Your mother warned you there′d be days like these Oh but she didn′t tell you when the world has brought You down to your knees that...
I′ll be there for you When the rain starts to pour I′ll be there for you Like I′ve been there before I′ll be there for you ′Cuz you′re there for me too...
No one could ever know me No one could ever see me Seems you′re the only one who knows What it′s like to be me Someone to face the day with Make it through all the rest with Someone I′ll always laugh with Even at my worst I′m best with you, yeah
It′s like you′re always stuck in second gear When it hasn′t been your day, your week, your month, or even your year...
I′ll be there for you When the rain starts to pour I′ll be there for you Like I′ve been there before I′ll be there for you ′Cuz you′re there for me too...
