Verse 1:
Abm7 Gb/Bb Db
Now if you feel that you can`t go on
Abm7 Gb/Bb Db
Because all your hope is gone
Abm7 Gb/Bb Db
And your life is filled with much confusion
Abm7 Gb/Bb Db
Until happiness is just an illusion
Abm7 Gb/Bb Db
And your world around you is tumbling down, darling
Gb/Bb Gb
(Reach out) Come on, girl, reach out for me
Bb/D Fdim [N.C.]
(Reach out) Reach out for me

Chorus 1:
Bb Eb/Bb Ebm Bb
I`ll be there with a love that will shelter you
Bb Eb/Bb Ebm Bb
I`ll be there with a love that will see you through
Verse 2:
When you feel alone and about to give up
`Cause your best just ain`t good enough
And you feel the world has grown cold
And you`re drifting out all on your own
And you need a hand to hold, darling
(Reach out) Come on, girl, reach out for me
(Reach out) Reach out for me
[spoken: Hah!]
Chorus 2 (double-length):
I`ll be there to love and comfort you
And I`ll be there to cherish and care for you
(I`ll be there to love and see you through)
(I`ll be there to love and comfort you)
Verse 3:
I can tell the way you hang your head
You`re without love now, now you`re afraid
And through your tears you look around
But there`s no peace of mind to be found - I know what you`re thinking
You`re alone now, no love of your own, but darling
(Reach out) Come on, girl, reach out for me
(Reach out)
[spoken: Just look over your shoulder!]
Chorus 3:
I`ll be there to give you all the love you need
I`ll be there, you can always depend on me
Coda:
Bb Eb/Bb
I`ll be there, don`t worry [fade]
