[Intro]
C     F    Am    Dm  G  C    F    C
[Verse 1]
I've seen the rain fall downF  
And wash away a townC  
I've seen strong hearts Feasily brokenC  
Why do some things surviveF  
While others live and dieC  
How can someone let their Flove go unspokenEm  
[Verse 2]
I couldn't Fstand to see us end Dmup that way
GJust another trageEmdy
And every Fnight I promise aDmnother dayG  
[Chorus]
Whatever it Ctakes, I will be there
By your Fside, baby, anywhere
When you're lost and aAmlone, I'll bring you home
I will come Dmthrough for Gyou
Whatever it Ctakes, whatever you need
Whatever comes Fdown between you and me
When the road gets Amrough, you've gotta trust
I will come Dmthrough for Gyou
Whatever it CtakesF  C  G  F  C  
[Verse 3]
I've opened every doorF  
I always wanted moreC  
I didn't have Fmuch to believe inC  
I searched the world for youF  
I found what's really trueC  
It's your love that Fgives me a reasonEm  
[Verse 4]
Baby, it's Fonly you who can Dmfree my heart
I Gcan't do it on my ownEm  
It seems like just Fyesterday, I was Dmin the darkG  
[Chorus]
Whatever it Ctakes, I will be there
By your Fside, baby, anywhere
When you're lost and aAmlone, I'll bring you home
I will come Dmthrough for Gyou
