I?ll Be There For You (Acoustic)
Performed by Bon Jovi
Written By Jon Bon Jovi & Richie Sambora
From New Jersey (1988)
Tabbed by Hummeroo (hummeroo83@yahoo.com)

	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!

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
           G
When you breathe I want to be the air for you
A         C    G   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
  G
Words can't say what love can do
A         C    G  *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

*If you want you can play another chorus here but go one step higher like in the studio track by playing these chords instead of the ones above for this last chorus:
       	D    becomes  E    022100
	Bm   becomes  C#m  x46654
        G    becomes  A    577655
	A    becomes  B    799877 or x24442
       	C    becomes  D    x57775

Outro: Same As Intro
