Verse 1:
Abm7 Gb/Bb Db
Now if you feel that you can't go on
Abm7 Gb/Bb Db
Because all your hope is gone
Abm7 Gb/Bb Db
And your life is filled with much confusion
Abm7 Gb/Bb Db
Until happiness is just an illusion
Abm7 Gb/Bb Db
And your world around you is tumbling down, darling
Gb/Bb Gb
(Reach out) Come on, girl, reach out for me
Bb/D Fdim [N.C.]
(Reach out) Reach out for me
[spoken: Hah!]
Chorus 1:
Bb Eb/Bb Ebm Bb
I'll be there with a love that will shelter you
Bb Eb/Bb Ebm Bb
I'll be there with a love that will see you through
Verse 2:
When you feel alone and about to give up
'Cause your best just ain't good enough
And you feel the world has grown cold
And you're drifting out all on your own
And you need a hand to hold, darling
(Reach out) Come on, girl, reach out for me
(Reach out) Reach out for me
[spoken: Hah!]
Chorus 2 (double-length):
I'll be there to love and comfort you
And I'll be there to cherish and care for you
(I'll be there to love and see you through)
(I'll be there to love and comfort you)
Verse 3:
I can tell the way you hang your head
You're without love now, now you're afraid
And through your tears you look around
But there's no peace of mind to be found - I know what you're thinking
You're alone now, no love of your own, but darling
(Reach out) Come on, girl, reach out for me
(Reach out)
[spoken: Just look over your shoulder!]
Chorus 3:
I'll be there to give you all the love you need
I'll be there, you can always depend on me
Coda:
Bb Eb/Bb
I'll be there, don't worry [fade]
