[Verse 1]
 
A                                         G
So no one told you life was gonna be this way
A                                                     C#m
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
G                Bm              A
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
        G                D                    E
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year but
 
 
[Chorus]
 
A       D          E
I'll be there for you (When the rain starts to pour)
A       D          E
I'll be there for you (Like I've been there before)
A       D          E                              G
I'll be there for you ('Cause you're there for me too)

[Verse 2]
 
A                                            G
You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight
A                                                  C#m
You burned your breakfast so far, things are going great
G           Bm                    A
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
        G               D                  E
But she didn't tell you when the world has brought you down to your knees that
 
 
[Chorus]
 
A       D          E
I'll be there for you (When the rain starts to pour)
A       D          E
I'll be there for you (Like I've been there before)
A       D          E                              G       A
I'll be there for you ('Cause you're there for me too)
