Chords and lyrics:

Bm/E/G/D

(aah... say you'll be there)

Bm E

I'm giving you everything

G D

All that joy can bring, this I swear

Bm E

Last time that we had this conversation

G D

I decided we should be friends

Bm E

But now we're going 'round in circles

G D

Tell me will this deja-vu never end?

And now you tell me that you've fallen in love

Well I never ever thought that would be

This time you gotta take it easy

Throwing far too much emotions at me

riff B: (played over bridge)

Bridge 2

Bm E

Say you will be there

Bm -

Won't you say it with me?

If you put two and two together

You will see what our friendship is four

If you can't work this equation

Then I guess I'll have to show you the door

[Bridge] (repeat riff B)

There is no need to say you love me

It would be better left unsaid

Chorus

I'm giving you everything

All that joy can bring, this I swear

And all that I want from you

Is a promise you will be there

Yeah... I want you

[Solo] Bm/E/G/D

(Just play around, it shouldn't be too hard to get

the hang of it)

Bridge

(repeat riff B)

C Bm

Any fool can see they're falling

Bb A

I gotta make you understand

N.C.

I'll give you everything, on this I swear

Just promise you'll always be there

Repeat chorus to fade

(add. lyrics: I'm giving you everything/all that joy can bring/yes I swear)
