So no one told you life was gonna be this way [four claps]
 
 Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's D.O.A.
 
 It's like you're always stuck in second gear
 
 When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year, but...
 
  
  CHORUS
 
 I'll be there for you
 
 (When the rain starts to pour)
 
 I'll be there for you
 
 (Like I've been there before)
 
 I'll be there for you
 
 ('Cause you're there for me too)
  
 
 Your still in bed at 10, and work began at 8
 
 Burned you breakfast so far, things are going great
 
 Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
 
 But she didn't tell you when the world was brought down to your knees - and
  
 
 CHORUS
  
 
 No-one could ever know me
 
 No-one could ever see me
 
 Since your the only one who knows - what it's like to be me
 
 Someone to face the day with make it through all the rest with
 
 Someone I'll always laugh with
 
 Even in my worst I'm best with you
  
 
 It's like you're always stuck in 2nd gear
 
 When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month or even your year
  
 
 CHORUS
