Gm         Eb               Cm            D
So no one told you life was gonna be this way
Gm            Eb
Your job's a joke, you're broke
      Cm             D
Your love life's D.O.A
Eb                                 D
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
Eb                                              Dm
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month
              D
Or even your year,

[Chorus]
Gm         Eb      F
I'll be there for you
          Dm
When the rain starts to pour
Gm         Eb      F
I'll be there for you
          Dm
Like I've been there before
Gm         Eb      F
I'll be there for you
               Dm           Gm
'Cause you're there for me too

[Verse 2]
Gm               Eb
You're still in bed at ten
     Cm            D
And work began at eight
Gm                    Eb
You've burned your breakfast, so far
Cm                 D
Things are going great
Eb                                 D
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
Eb                                          D
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought
                   D
You down to your knees and

[Chorus]
Gm         Eb      F
I'll be there for you
          Dm
When the rain starts to pour
Gm         Eb      F
I'll be there for you
          Dm
Like I've been there before
Gm         Eb      F
I'll be there for you
               Dm           Gm
'Cause you're there for me too
