  Fmaj7    Cx3
(finger pick or strum)
[Verse 1] (finger pick or strum verses)
You've seen Fmaj7bad times
CYour eyes have told me so blue and Fmaj7bad times
CYou think that I don't know but there'll be Fmaj7glad times
CJust you wait and see girl, I'll Fmaj7be your sunrise if you
Lean on Cme
Now I iFmaj7magine CI could comfort you, I'd forFmaj7gotten
The tChings that you'd been through
But here's Fmaj7one thing on wChich we can agree
When you're Fmaj7ready darling you can lean on Cme
[Chorus] (strum)
And the love I bCring will grow into a lasting tGhing
It'll put your heart on wiFngs and set you fCree
And as you Crise high into the clearing Gsky
Maybe you will realFize you can always
Lean on Cme said lean on me baby lean on Gme
Said just lean on Fme you can lean on Cme
[Verse 2]
All your heartachFmaj7es are hidden deCep inside
So there's no Fmaj7telling how mCany tears you've cried
And like the Fmaj7river told the weeCping willow tree
I can Fmaj7hold your teardrops child, just lean on Cme
[Chorus]
Sweet love and Ccare and girl I'll find the strength
I sGwear and when you need me I'll be thFere
If you let it Cbe
Till my time is dCone, till the longest race is rGun
Right on till the kingdom cFomes you can always
Lean on Cme - said lean on Cme baby lean on Gme
Yeah, you can lean on Fme
You know that you can lean on Cme
