This is probably the best song Spice Girls have ever done. I'm one of
those sad bastards who actually likes the Spice Girls (and admits it)
so I decided to work it out. It's fairly simple in its chord
progressions, and therefore quite easy to interpret in a way that suits
you best.

Chords and lyrics:
Bm/E/G/D
(aah... say you'll be there)
Bm E
I'm giving you everything
G D
All that joy can bring, this I swear
Bm E
Last time that we had this conversation
G D
I decided we should be friends
Bm E
But now we're going 'round in circles
G D
Tell me will this deja-vu never end?
And now you tell me that you've fallen in love
Well I never ever thought that would be
This time you gotta take it easy
Throwing far too much emotions at me

Bridge 2:
Bm E
Say you will be there
Bm -
Won't you say it with me?
If you put two and two together
You will see what our friendship is four
If you can't work this equation
Then I guess I'll have to show you the door
Bridge: (repeat riff B)
There is no need to say you love me
It would be better left unsaid
Chorus:
I'm giving you everything
All that joy can bring, this I swear
And all that I want from you
Is a promise you will be there
Yeah... I want you
Solo: Bm/E/G/D
(Just play around, it shouldn't be too hard to get
the hang of it)
Bridge (repeat riff B)
C Bm
Any fool can see they're falling
Bb A
I gotta make you understand
(n.c.)
I'll give you everything, on this I swear
Just promise you'll always be there
Repeat chorus to fade
(add. lyrics: I'm giving you everything/all that joy can bring/yes I swear)
