This is probably the best song Spice Girls have ever done. I'm one of

those sad bastards who actually likes the Spice Girls (and admits it)

so I decided to work it out. It's fairly simple in its chord

progressions, and therefore quite easy to interpret in a way that suits

you best.

Chords and lyrics:

Bm/E/G/D

(aah... say you'll be there)

Bm E

I'm giving you everything

G D

All that joy can bring, this I swear

 

Bm E

Last time that we had this conversation

G D

I decided we should be friends

Bm E

But now we're going 'round in circles

G D

Tell me will this deja-vu never end?

 

And now you tell me that you've fallen in love

Well I never ever thought that would be

This time you gotta take it easy

Throwing far too much emotions at me

But any fool can see they're falling

A# A

I gotta make you understand

 

 

chorus:

Bm E

I'm giving you everything

All that joy can bring, this I swear

Bm E

And all that I want from you

Is a promise you will be there

Bridge 2:

Bm E

Say you will be there

Bm -

Won't you say it with me?

 

 

If you put two and two together

You will see what our friendship is four

If you can't work this equation

Then I guess I'll have to show you the door

 

 

Bridge: (repeat riff B)

 

There is no need to say you love me

It would be better left unsaid

 

Chorus:

I'm giving you everything

All that joy can bring, this I swear

And all that I want from you

Is a promise you will be there

 

Yeah... I want you

 

 

Solo: Bm/E/G/D

(Just play around, it shouldn't be too hard to get

the hang of it)

 

 

Bridge (repeat riff B)

 

C Bm

Any fool can see they're falling

A# A

I gotta make you understand

 

 

(N.C.)

I'll give you everything, on this I swear

Just promise you'll always be there

 

 

Repeat chorus to fade

(add. lyrics: I'm giving you everything/all that joy can bring/yes I swear)
