I’ll Be There For You (Acoustic)
Performed by Bon Jovi
Written By Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora
From New Jersey (1988)
This is the acoustic version of I’ll Be There For You which is the only
one that’s correct. All the other ones using Dminor and F are wrong. Also, upstroke
the first and third Em of every verse for a more similar sound to the real acoustic
performances, and stop strumming when it says *STOP*.
Enjoy!
Chords: Em 022000

Verse 1:
Em G
I guess this time you're really leaving
D D
I heard your suitcase say goodbye
Em G
And as my broken heart lies bleeding
D *STOP*
You say true love is suicide
Em G
You say you've cried a thousand rivers
D Bm
And now you're swimming for the shore
Em G
You left me drowning in my tears
D *STOP*
And you won't save me anymore
D
I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance, girl
Chorus:
I'll be there for you
Bm
These five words I swear to you
Em
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
G A D
I'll be there for you
Bm
I'd live and I'd die for you
Steal the sun from the sky for you
Em
Words can't say what love can do
G A *RIFF #1*
I'll be there for you
*RIFF #1*

Verse 2:
I know you know we've had some good times
Now they have their own hiding place
I can promise you tomorrow
But I can't buy back yesterday
And Baby you know my hands are dirty
But I wanted to be your valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty, baby
When you get drunk, I'll be the wine
Chorus
Solo: Play Chorus Chords Twice
Verse 3:
Em G
And I wasn't there when you were happy
D Bm
I wasn't there when you were down
Em G
I didn't mean to miss your birthday, baby
D *Scream*
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out
Chorus
Outro: Same As Intro
Well there you have it. Enjoy! Any comments or thoughts are welcome.
