I'll Be There for You

I'll Be There For You By The Rembrandts

So no one told you life was gonna be this way [four claps] Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A. It's like you're always stuck in second gear When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year, but

CHORUS I'll be there for you (When the rain starts to pour) I'll be there for you (Like I've been there before) I'll be there for you ('Cause you're there for me too)

You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight You've burned your breakfast so far, things are going great Your mother warned you there'd be days like these But she didn't tell when the world has brought you down to your knees

CHORUS

No one could ever know me, no one could ever see me Seems you're the only one who knows what it's like to be me Someone to face the day with, make it through all the rest with Someone I'll always laugh with Even at my worst, I'm best with you Yeah!

It's like you're always stuck in second gear When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year, but

Before I get to the song, I want to thank everyone who has contributed to r.m.m.g.t and a.g.t as well as Neveda. Ever since I started reading this group I've had more fun playing the six-string than ever. And since I'm still a little green with the guitar, this group has helped me a ton. Now I'd like to try to contribute. Thanks to all!

Now, a while ago someone had requested the theme to the show "Friends," and I was waiting for a response myself. I never saw it so I decided to give it a try, and I think I got it. But remember, I'm not that experienced (this is only the second song I've figured out), so I would appreciate any corrections. Also, someone else will have to tab the riffs. And here we go...

Theme to "Friends" Music by Michael Skloff Lyrics by Allee Willis Performed by The Rembrandts

Intro: A A

A Em So no one told you that it was gonna be this way. A E Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love's blasting away.

G Dsus2 E E It's like you're always stuck in second gear, G Dsus2 E E When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month or even your year. But...

A E I'll be there for you (When your world starts to fall). I'll be there for you (Like I've been there before). I'll be there for you ('Cause I'm there for you).

You'll have to listen for the strum pattern!

Enjoy!
