Intro
[D] [F#m7] [D/F#] [G] [Gsus2] [A]
[D] [F#m7] [D/F#] [G] [G/A] [A]
Verse 1
[D] [F#m7]
Day after day
[G] [A]
I must face a world of strangers
[Bm9]
where I don't belong;
[Em7] [G/A] [A]
I'm not that strong.
[D] [F#m7]
It's nice to know
[G] [A]
that there's someone I can turn to
[Bm9]
who will always care;
[Em7] [G/A]
you're always there.
Chorus
[A] [D] [C/D] [G] [Em7]
When there's no getting over that rainbow,
[A] [D] [C/D] [G] [Em7]
when my smallest of dreams won't come true,
[G/A] [D] [C/D] [GM7] [D/F#]
I can take all the madness the world has to give,
[Em7] [G/A] [D]
but I won't last a day without you.
([D]) [F#m7] [D/F#] [G] [G/A] [A]
[D] [F#m7] [D/F#] [G] [G/A] [A]
Verse 2
[D] [F#m7]
So many times
[G] [A]
when the city seems to be
[Bm9]
without a fiendly face,
[Em7] [G/A] [A]
a lonely place,
[D] [F#m7]
it's nice to know
[G] [A]
that you'll be there if I need you,
[Bm9]
and you'll always smile;
[Em7] [G/A]
it's all worth while.
Chorus
[A] [D] [C/D] [G] [Em7]
When there's no getting over that rainbow,
[A] [D] [C/D] [G] [Em7]
when my smallest of dreams won't come true,
[G/A] [D] [C/D] [GM7] [D/F#]
I can take all the madness the world has to give,
[Em7] [G/A] [D] [A/C#]
but I won't last a day without you.
Bridge
[Bm9] [D/E] [E/G#] [A] [A/C#]
Touch me and I end up singing.
[Bm9] [E7] [F#sus] [F#]
Troubles seem to up and disappear.
[G#m7] [C#7] [F#]
You touch me with the love you're bringing.
[D#m7] [E] [F#sus] [F#]
I can't really lose when you're near.
[Em7] [A7]
(when you're near my love.)
Verse 3
[D] [F#m7]
If all my friends
[G] [A]
have forgotten half their promises,
[Bm9]
they're not unkind,
[Em7] [G/A] [A]
just hard to find.
[D] [F#m7]
One look at you
[G] [A]
and I know that I could learn
[Bm9]
to live without the rest,
[Em7] [G/A]
I've found the best.
Chorus
[A] [D] [C/D] [G] [Em7]
When there's no getting over that rainbow,
[A] [D] [C/D] [G] [Em7]
when my smallest of dreams won't come true,
[G/A] [D] [C/D] [GM7] [D/F#]
I can take all the madness the world has to give,
[Em7] [G/A] [D]
but I won't last a day without you.
Outro
[A] [D] [C/D] [G] [Em7]
When there's no getting over that rainbow,
[A] [D] [C/D] [G] [Em7]
when my smallest of dreams won't come true,
[G/A] [D] [C/D] [GM7] [D/F#]
I can take all the madness the world has to give,
[Em7] [G/A] (break)
but I won't last a day
[D]
without you.
