[Verse 1]
G                         G/F#
Sittin' in the rain water on your brain
      Em                 Em7/D
Got a hole in your boat
          A7/C#        A7/A
Trying to stay afloat
            Cm      D
Has got you down
           G                      G/F#
I've got a wind in my sail rubber boots and a pail
     Em                Em7/D
I'll throw you a line
       A7/C#         A7
Rest assured that I
                   Cm     D
Won't ever let you drown

[Chorus]
      G               G/F#
Cause when you're up against the wall
    C/E                   Bm/D   A/C#      Dsus4  D
You know I'll be here for you,         for you
G                 G/F#
When you rise and when you fall
     C/E                Bm/D   A/C#      Dsus4  D
I'll always be here for you,         for you

[Verse 2]
         G                   G/F#
When the plans you make fall through and take you
Em           Em7/D
For a loop
                 A7/C#           A7/A
Or some bird has flown the coop
             Cm   D
And left you stranded
     G                G/F#
Just lean on me and together you see
      Em              Em7/D
We'll carry the load
     A7/C#         A7
Even if we don't
           Cm    D
Quite understand it

[Chorus]
      G               G/F#
Cause when you're up against the wall
    C/E                   Bm/D   A/C#      Dsus4  D
You know I'll be here for you,         for you
G                 G/F#
When you rise and when you fall
     C/E                Bm/D   A/C#      Dsus4  D
I'll always be here for you,         for you

[Chorus in Ab]
      Ab              Ab/G
Cause when you're up against the wall
    C#/F                  Cm/Eb  Bb/D        Ebsus4   Eb
You know I'll be here for you,           for you
Ab                Ab/G
When you rise and when you fall
     C#/F               Cm/Eb  Bb/D        Ebsus4   Eb
I'll always be here for you,               for you
