Verse 1:

        G#m
Oh, you may not love me now, but I'm stayin' around,
         F#
'Cos you want my company.
          G#m
Just like push can turn to shove, like can turn to love,
         F#
And it's my philosophy, that;

Chorus 1:

           G#m           F#
If you can want, you can need,
               G#m           F#
And if you can need, you can care.
           G#m           F#
If you can care, you can love,
            G#m              F#
So when you want me, I'll be there.

Whenever you want me, I'll be there.

Verse 2:

        G#m
Oh, now this may take some time, but if time was money,
        F#
I would be a millionaire.
        G#m
So when-ever you want me call any time at all,
        F#
And for sure, I'll be right there, 'cos...

Chorus 2:

           G#m           F#
If you can want, you can need,
               G#m           F#
And if you can need, you can care.
           G#m           F#
If you can care, you can love,
            G#m              F#
So when you want me, I'll be there.
         G#m (n.c)
(I'll be there), whenever you want me.

Verse 3:

G#m
 I'll be standin' by, not far way;
         F#
Let your heart give me a sign.
     G#m
'Cos I'm prepared to wait, until that future day,
         F#
When you want me all the time, 'cos...

Chorus 3:

           G#m           F#
If you can want, you can need,
               G#m           F#
And if you can need, you can care.
           G#m           F#
If you can care, you can love,
            G#m              F#
So when you want me, I'll be there.
         G#m (n.c)
(I'll be there), whenever you want me.

Chorus 4:

           G#m           F#
If you can want, you can need,
               G#m           F#
And if you can need, you can care.
           G#m           F#
If you can care, you can love,
            G#m              F#
So when you want me, I'll be there.
         G#m (n.c)
(I'll be there), whenever you want me.
