D            C                 G
Sometimes I rock, sometimes I roll
D               C             G
Sometimes it's not me in control
D                  C             Em           A7
Sometimes I gotta jump before I know what's below
C                   D                  G
Sometimes I gotta drop everything and go

Some days were hot, some days were cold
Some days were carrying a heavy load
Some days were digging in
And the love may not show
But I want you to know

Chorus:
          Em C  G
You can rely on me (Yes you can)
          Em C   G
You can rely on me (To understand you)
          Em C   A7
You can rely on me (For anything)
           C             D      G
You can rely, you can rely on me

And when life is hinging on regret
Like you made up your mind and then you second-guessed it
There's so much you wanna try
That you haven't tried yet
I've got your back through all of it
Yes I do

Chorus:
You can rely on me
Yes you can
You can rely on me
To understand you
You can rely on me
For anything
You can rely, you can rely on me

Em                                      A7
It's you who brought me back when I was lost
Em                        A7
Everything I learned you taught me how to...
 C                               G
Wise up and pay a little more attention
 C                    D         B7/D#
You showed me how to listen, so listen...
         Em C    G
You can rely on me (Yes you can)

Chorus:
You can rely on me
Yes you can
You can rely on me
To understand you
You can rely on me
For anything
You can rely, you can rely on me
