[D][D]
[D][D]

[Verse 1]
I guess this time you're really [Em]leaving
[G]I heard your suitcase say goo[D]dbye
Well, as my broken heart [Em]lies bleeding
[G]You say true love, it's suicid[D]e
You say you've cried a thousand [Em]rivers
[G]And now you're swimming
[D]for the shore
You left me drowning in my [Em]tears
[G]And you won't save me anymor[A]e
I'm praying to God

[Chorus 1]
you'll give me one more chance, girl
[D]I'll be there for you
[Bm]These five words I swear to you
When you [G]breathe, I wanna be the air for you
[A]I'll be [C]there [G]for [D]you
I'd live and I'd die for you
[Bm]I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
[G]Words can't say what love can do
[A]I'll be [C]there [G]for [D]you
[D]

[Verse 2]
I know you know we've had some [Em]good times
[G]Now they have their own hiding pla[D]ce
Well, I can promise you to[Em]morrow
[G]But I can't buy back yesterday[A][A]

Yeah, baby, you know my hands are [G]dir- ty

[Bm]I'll be the water
when you get [G]thirsty, baby
When you get drunk,
I'll be the [A]wine, [A]oh

[Chorus 2]
[D]I'll be there for you
[Bm]These five words I swear to you
When you [G]breathe, I wanna be the air for you
[A]I'll be [C]there [G]for [D]you
I'd live and I'd die for you
[Bm]I'd steal the sun from the sky for you

[Pre-chorus 2]
I wasn't there when you were [G]happy
[A]And I wasn't there when you

Didn't mean to miss your [G]birthday, baby
I wish I'd seen you blow
those candles [A]out, oh!

[Chorus 3]
[D]I'll be there for you
