NOTE: It's hard to listen those parts, but it's something like that, just 
harmonizing notes in intervals of diatonic sixties, according with D major 
scale. It's used a lot in blues and country themes. I hope you enjoy!


Lyrics and Chords: 

                                Em
I guess this time you're really leaving
G                             D
I hear your suitcase say good-bye
                            Em
and as my broken heart lies bleeding
G                       D
you say true love is 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.
N.C.
I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance girl.


{c:CHORUS:}
     D
     I'll be there for you
     Bm
     these five words I swear to you
              G
     when you breathe I wanna be the air for you
     A       C     G   D
     I'll be there for you.

     I'd live and I'd die for you
     Bm
     I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
     G
     words can't say what love can do
     A       C     G   D
     I'll be there for you.


                          Em
I know you we've had some good times
G                               D
now they have thir own hiding place
                  Em
I can promise you tomorrow
G                           A
but I can't buy back yesterday.
                                 G
And baby you know my hands are dirty (and baby you know my hands are dirty)
A                Bm     A/C#      D  A/C#   Bm
but I wanted to be your Valentine
                               G
I'll be the water when you get thirsty baby
                                   A
when you get drunk I'll be the wine.

CHORUS

A                                    G
And I wasn't there when you where happy
              Bm        A/C#     D    A/C#  Bm
and I wasn't there when you were down, down down
                           G
I didn't mean to miss your birthday baby
                                   A
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out.  (Jon's scream)
