Verse 7
Mother father there's things I've done I can't erase every night we fall from grace
It's hard with the world in your face, trying to hold on, trying to hold on.
Chorus
Faith! You know you're gonna live thru the rain Lord you got to keep the faith
Faith! Don't let your love turn to hate right now we got to keep the faith
Keep the faith, Keep the faith try to hold on, trying to hold on
Faith! Keep the faith, Keep the faith try to hold on, trying to hold on

I'LL BE THERE FOR YOU (BON JOVI)
I guess this time you're really [Dm]leaving
[F]I hear your suitcase say good-[C]bye
and as my broken heart lies [Dm]bleeding
[F]you say true love is sui-[C]cide.
You say you cried a thousand [Dm]rivers
[F]and now you're swimming for the [C]shore
[Am]you left me drowning in my [Dm]tears
[F]and you won't save me any-[G]more.
[no chords]I'm praying to God you'll give me one more chance girl.
CHORUS:
[C]I'll be there for you
[Am]these five words I swear to you
when you [Dm]breathe I wanna be the air for you
[F]I'll be [G]there for [C]you.
[C]I'd live and I'd die for you
[Am]I'd steal the sun from the sky for you
[Dm]words can't say what love can do
[F]I'll be [G]there for [C]you.
The rest of the chords is the same, so I'm just going to write the lyrics:
I know you we've had some good times
now they have thir own hiding place
I can promise you tomorrow
but I can't buy back yesterday.
And baby you know my hands are dirty (and baby you know my hands are dirty)
but I wanted to be your valentine
I'll be the water when you get thirsty baby
when you get drunk I'll be the wine. (Jon's scream)
CHORUS
And I wasn't there when you where happy
and I wasn't there when you were down, down down
I didn't mean to miss your birthday baby
I wish I'd seen you blow those candles out.
