INTRO

VERSE 1
                    A     Asus4 A
If you need a friend
                F#m
Don't look to a stranger
                D     Dsus4 D
You know in the end,
              A
I'll always be there
                   A     Asus4 A
But when you're in doubt
                   F#m
And when you're in danger
                 D     Dsus4 D
Take a look all around
            A
And I'll be there
 
 
CHORUS
A                                                          A/G#
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
  F#m
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
    D                                Dm
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
  A          E                 A     Asus4 A
I promise, I promise you I will
 
 
VERSE 2
                 A
When your day is through
               F#m
And so is your temper
                   D
You know what to do
                   A
I'm gonna always be there
               A
Sometimes if I shout
                  F#m
It's not what's intended
                      D
These words just come out
                 A
With no gripe to bear
 
 
CHORUS
A
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
  F#m
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
    D                                Dm
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
  A          E                 A     Asus4 A
I promise, I promise you I will

A                                                          A/G#
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
  F#m
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
    D                                Dm
But if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me
  A          E
I promise, I promise
 
A                                                          A/G#
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
  F#m
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
    D                               Dm
But if I had to walk the world, I'd make you fall for me
  A          E                 A     Asus4 A
I promise, I promise you I will
