I'll Be There For You

The theme song to the american tv sitcom blockbuster "Friends" is often (incorrectly) thought to be written by the US band The Rembrandts. Although they recorded the 1990's US and UK hit, the song was originally composer by Michael Skloff and Allee Willis.
A relatively easy song for the guitar. The chords to watch out for (and may require some extra practise for the beginner) are C#m, Bm and Esus4.

I'll Be There For You

("Friends" theme, by The Rembrants)

Intro

Verse 1

So no-one told you life was gonna be this way

C#m

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

D/F#

Esus4

Well, it hasn`t been your day, your week your month or even your year

Chorus

But 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)

Verse 2

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 you when the world has brought you down to your knees

Bridge

No one could ever know me

No one could ever see me

Sometime the only one who knows what its like to be me

Someone to face the day with, make it through all the mess with

Someone I'll always laugh with, even under the worst I'm best with you

(last two lines of verse 1 followed by chorus*2)
