[B] [E] [B] If
[E] [B] you be a friend, [B] don't look to [Abm] a stranger You know [E] in the end I'll always [B] be there
[E] But [B] when you're in love, when you're [Abm] in danger Take a look [E] around, and I'll [B] be there
[E] [B]
I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
[Abm] I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
[E] If you wait around a while, [Em] I'll make you a part of me
[B] I promise, [Gb] I promise you I [B] will
[E] [B]
Your days through, so is [Abm] your temper You know what [E] to do, I'll always [B] be there
Sometimes if I shout, it's not [Abm] what's intended These words [E] just come out with no [B] right to bear
