Intro: F ../ F/E ../ Dm ../ Bb    

      F              F/E
I've had enough, of this parade. 
      Dm              Bb
I'm thinking of, the words to say. 
   F           F/E     
We open up, unfinished parts, 
 Dm            Bb
Broken up, its so mellow. 
C                          Bb         
And when I see you then I know it will be next to me 

And when I need you then I know you will be there with me 
C                   C7
Ill never leave you... 
                   F       C
Just need to get closer, closer, 
 Bb     
Lean on me now, 

Lean on me now, 
  F       C
closer, closer, 
 Bb
Lean on me now, 

Lean on me now.
