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

	Bridge:
	         C                     Bm
	But any fool can see they're falling
	         Bb            A
	I gotta make you understand


	chorus:
	Bm             E
	I'm giving you everything
	          G                      D
	All that joy can bring, this I swear
	Bm              E
	And all that I want from you
	      G                    D
	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
	         Bb            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)
