So no one told you life was gonna be this way [four claps]
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year, but...

CHORUS
I'll be there for you
(When the rain starts to pour)
I'll be there for you
(Like I've been there before)
I'll be there for you
('Cause you're there for me too)

Your still in bed at 10, and work began at 8
Burned you breakfast so far, things are going great
Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
But she didn't tell you when the world was brought down to your knees - and

CHORUS

No-one could ever know me
No-one could ever see me
Since you´re the only one who knows - what it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even in my worst I'm best with you

It's like you're always stuck in 2nd gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month or even your year

CHORUS
