[Verse]
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
D/C# - 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
I'd live and I'd die for you
D/C# - 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
