D                         Em
I guess this time you're really leaving
G                              D
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
                               Em
Well as my broken heart lies bleeding
G                           D
You say true love, it's suicide
                              Em
You say you cried a thousand rivers
G                                 D
And now you're swimming for the shore
                            Em
You left me drowning in my tears
G                         A
And you won't save me anymore
A
I pray to God you'll
give me one more chance, girl


Chorus:
D
I'll be there for you
 Bm
These five words I swear to you
           G
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
A         C    G   D
I'll be there for you
D
I'd live and I'd die for you
Bm
Steal the sun from the sky for you
 G
Words can't say what a love can do
A         C    G   D
I'll be there for you

I know you know we've had some good times
Now they have their own hidin' place
Well, I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday
And, baby, you know my hands are dirty
(And baby you know my hands are dirty)
But I wanted to be your valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drunk, I'll be the wine

Chorus

A                                 G
And I wasn't there when you were happy
                             A
(I wasn't there to make you happy)
                              D   Bm
I wasn't there when you were down
                            G
I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
                                        A
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out

Chorus - x2

Woah, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh, woah
Woah, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh, woah
Woah, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh, woah, oh, oh, woah
