Intro
[C] [Am] [F] [C]
===

Verse 1
If you need a [C]friend, don't look to a [Am]stranger,
You know in the [F]end, I'll always be [C]there.
And when you're in [C]doubt, and when you're in [Am]danger,
Take a look all [F]around, and I'll be [C]there.

Chorus
[C]I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I [Am]know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
But [F]if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I [C]promise, I [Am]promise [G]you I [C]will.

Verse 2
When your day is[C] through, and so is your [Am]temper,
You know what to [F]do, I'm gonna always [C]be there.
Sometimes if I [C]shout, it's not what's in[Am]tended.
These words just come [F]out, with no gripe [C]to bear.

Chorus
I'm [C]sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I [Am]know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
But [F]if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I [C]promise, I [Am]promise [G]you...
I'm [C]sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I [Am]know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
And if [F]I had to walk the world, that make you fall for me,
I [C]promise you, I [Am]promise [G]you I [C]will. [C] [Am] [F]
Gotta [C]tell ya, need to [Am]tell ya, gotta tell ya, I've gotta [F]tell yaaaa...

Chorus
I'm [C]sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I [Am]know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
But [F]if you wait around a while, I'll make you fall for me,
I [C]promise you, I [Am]promise [G]you...
I'm [C]sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say. (I promise)
I [Am]know they don't sound the way I planned them to be. (I promise)
And if [F]I have to walk the world to make you fall for me,
I [C]promise you, I [Am]promise [G]you I [Am]will... I [F]will... I [C]will...
