[Verse 1]

        D           Em7       D/F#     G
When you need picked up 'cause you fell down
      D         Em7       D/F#     G
Need a piggyback ride or a birthday clown
      D       Em7         D/F#   G             D     Em7 D/F# G
Need a song to take you to sleepy town, I'll be there 
 

[Verse 2]

        D      Em7          D/F#   G
When you need a coach or you need a fan
      D      Em7          D/F#  G
Need a castle built out of ocean sand
    D       Em7     D/F#     G            D     Em7 D/F# G
Or a rainbow chaser, I'm your man, I'll be there 


[Chorus 1]

         G             D/F#
I'll be a tear dryer, a paper airplane flyer
 Em             A        D
A monster runner-offer if you get scared
         G                        D/F#
I'll be a sap, I'll be a sucker, a story maker-upper
  Em       D         G              D     Em7 D/F# G   D Em7 D/F# G
Anytime, anything, anywhere, I'll be there 


[Verse 3]

        D          Em7      D/F#      G
When you break your heart or skin your knee
      D       Em7      D/F#        G
Need a big ol' hug or a bowl of ice cream
 D       Em7     D/F#     G
I promise you can count on me


[Chorus 2]

         G               D/F#
I'll be a heart mender, a prayer sender
 Em           A                D                   
A hoper and be-liever when it's all up in the air
 G                                D/F#
A strong and steady shoulder, I'll be a secret holder
  Em       D         G              G
Anytime, anything, anywhere, I'll be there

[Bridge]

      D      Em7          D/F# G
If you need a frown turned to a grin
      D      Em7          D/F#      G
Or you need a hand just to hold your hand
      D        Em7     D/F#    G               D     Em7 D/F# G
Need a daddy or you just need a friend, I'll be there
