[Verse 1]
A           A                  A           G
 So no one told you life was gonna be this way
A              A
 Your job's a joke, you're broke
      A           C#m
Your love life's D.O.A.

[Pre-chorus]
G                   D               A
 It's like you're always stuck in second gear
        G                D                     E
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month
              
Or even your year, but

[Chorus]
A          D        E
 I'll be there for you
                         A
When the rain starts to pour
          D        E
I'll be there for you

Like I've been there before
A          D        E
 I'll be there for you
                           G
'Cause you're there for me too

[Verse 2]
A                 A
 You're still in bed at ten
     A             G
And work began at eight
A                    A
 You've burned your breakfast
          A              C#m
So far, things are going great

[Pre-chorus]
G              D                    A
 Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
             G              D                    E
Oh but she didn't tell you when the world has brought

You down to your knees that

[Chorus]
A          D        E
 I'll be there for you
                          A
When the rain starts to pour
          D        E
I'll be there for you

Like I've been there before
A          D        E
 I'll be there for you
                           G     A
'Cause you're there for me too

[Bridge]
D
 No one could ever know me
D
 No one could ever see me
F#m
 Seems you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me
Bm
 Someone to face the day with
A
 Make it through all the rest with
G             D/F#
 Someone I'll always laugh with
E           D         E         F#m
 Even at my worst I'm best with you

[Pre-chorus]
G                   D               A
 It's like you're always stuck in second gear
        G                D                     E
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month

Or even your year, but

[Chorus]
A          D        E
 I'll be there for you
                          A
When the rain starts to pour
          D        E
I'll be there for you

Like I've been there before
A          D        E
 I'll be there for you
                            G
'Cause you're there for me too
A          D        E
 I'll be there for you
A          D        E
 I'll be there for you
A          D        E
 I'll be there for you
                            G
'Cause you're there for me too
