[B] [E] [B]
[E] [B]
If you and me are friends, [E] [B]
don't look to [Abm] strangers
You know in [E] the end, I'll always [B] be [E] there
[B]
But when you're in doubt, [B]
and when [Abm] you're in danger
Take a look [E] all 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 you planned them to be
[E] If you wait around a [Em] while, I'll make you follow me
[B] I promise, [Gb] I promise you [B] I will
[E] Your [B] 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 what's [Abm] intended
These words [E] just come out with no rhyme [B] to them
[E] I'm [B] sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
[Abm] I know they don't sound the way you planned them to be
[E] If you wait around a while, [Em] I'll make you follow me
[B] I promise, I [Gb] promise you [B] I will

[B] [Gb] I'm [B] sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say

I [B] promise you, I [Gb] promise
I'm [B] sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
[Abm] I know they don't sound the way you planned them to [B] be
But if I [E] had to walk the world, [Em] I'd make you follow me
[B] I promise you, [Gb] I promise you I [B] will
