Hello, everyone! This is my first REAL post, so forgive me if I make any
mistakes. Before I get to the song, I want to thank everyone who has
contributed to r.m.m.g.t and a.g.t as well as Neveda. Ever since I started
reading this group I've had more fun playing the six-string than ever.
And since I'm still a little green with the guitar, this group has helped
me a ton. Now I'd like to try to contribute. Thanks to all!
Now, a while ago someone had requested the theme to the show "Friends,"
and I was waiting for a response myself. I never saw it so I decided
to give it a try, and I think I got it. But remember, I'm not that
experienced (this is only the second song I've figured out), so
I would appreciate any corrections. Also, someone else will have to tab
the riffs. And here we go...

So no one told you that it was gonna be this way.

Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love's blasting away.
G Dsus2 E E
It's like you're always stuck in second gear,
G Dsus2 E E
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month or even your year. But...
A E
I'll be there for you (When your world starts to fall).
I'll be there for you (Like I've been there before).
I'll be there for you ('Cause I'm there for you).

You'll have to listen for the strum pattern!
Enjoy!
