Verse 1:
Emaj7 G#m D#m/F# G#m Emaj7 [etc.]
This is our fork in the road
Love’s last episode
There’s nowhere to go, oh no
You made your choice
Now it’s up to me
To bow out gracefully
Though you hold the key but baby
Chorus:
Whenever you call me I’ll be there
Whenever you want me I’ll be there
D#m/F# [hold]
Whenever you need me I’ll be there
Emaj7
I’ll be around
Verse 2:
I knew just what to say
Now I found out today
All the words had slipped away but I know
There’s always a chance
A tiny spark will remain
And sparks turn into flames
And love can burn once again
[repeat chorus]
Instrumental break: repeat basic riff 4X
[repeat chorus to fade]
