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)
BmI'm giving you Eeverything
All that Gjoy can bring, this I swDear
BmLast time tEhat we had this conversation
GI decided we should be friDends
BmBut now we're gEoing 'round in circles
Tell me wGill this deja-vu never eDnd?
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 2:
Bm SaEy you will be there
Bm Wo
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)
-
n't you say it with me? Any fCool can see they're fBmalling
I gotta mBbake you undersAtand
(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)
