I'm one of those sad bastards who actually likes the Spice Girls (and admits it) so I decided to work it out. It's fairly simple in its chord progressions, and therefore quite easy to interpret in a way that suits you best.

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)
