 8 -9   9    -10  9   8  7
If he brings you hap-pi-ness,
  7  7   7  -5  -6   7    6
Then I wish you all the best,
 -6   -7   7  -5  -6    7    -8  -8   -7   6  8
It's your hap-pi-ness, that matt-ers most of all,
 8   8 -9 9 -10   9      8    7
But if he ev-er breaks your heart,
 7  7    7    -6  -7  8   7
If the tear-drops ev-er start,
 -9  -9   8   -8  8    -9   8   -7   -8    7
I'll be there be-fore the next tear-drop falls.
 -8   8  -9   -9-9  9
I'll be there an-y-time,
 -9  -9   8  7  -8   8
You need me by your side,
 8  8 -8  7  8-8   7  7   -7   -7    7   7   -8
To dry-y, a-wa-y, ev-ery tear-drop that you cried
 8   8 -9  9-10    9    8   7
And if he ev-er leaves you blue,
  7   7  7  -5  -6   7   6
Just re-mem-ber, I love you,
 -9  -9  -9   8   -8  8   -9    8   -7  -8    7  
And I'll be there be-fore the next teardrop falls
 -9  -9  -9   8   -8  8   -9    8   -7  -8    7
And I'll be there be-fore the next teardrop falls
