	           Abm7             F#/Bb C#
	Now if you feel that you can't go on
	       Abm7         F#/Bb C#

	And your life is filled with much confusion
	      Abm7             F#/Bb  C#
	Until happiness is just an illusion
	         Abm7                   F#/Bb  C#
	And your world around you is tumbling down, darling

	 F#/Bb                F#

	 Bb/D                    Fdim [N.C.]

	[spoken: Hah!]

Chorus 1:

	 Bb     Eb        Ebm                    Bb
	I'll be there with a love that will shelter you
	 Bb     Eb        Ebm                      Bb
	I'll be there with a love that will see you through

Verse 2:

	When you feel alone and about to give up
	'Cause your best just ain't good enough
	And you feel the world has grown cold
	And you're drifting out all on your own
	And you need a hand to hold, darling

	(Reach out) Come on, girl, reach out for me
	(Reach out) Reach out for me
	[spoken: Hah!]

Chorus 2 (double-length):

	I'll be there to love and comfort you
	And I'll be there to cherish and care for you

	(I'll be there to love and see you through)
	(I'll be there to love and comfort you)

Verse 3:

	I can tell the way you hang your head
	You're without love now, now you're afraid
	And through your tears you look around
	But there's no peace of mind to be found - I know what you're thinking
	You're alone now, no love of your own, but darling

	(Reach out) Come on, girl, reach out for me
	(Reach out)
	[spoken: Just look over your shoulder!]

Chorus 3:

	I'll be there to give you all the love you need
	I'll be there, you can always depend on me

Coda:

	Bb      Eb
	I'll be there, don't worry [fade]
