G
I'm sorry if I tell you
F                          G
that you don't smell like roses
G
I'm tired of all the hypocrisy
F                   G
and all your silly poses

But honey what I tell you is the truth
So don't turn away
When I said I accepted you
I was here to stay

Chorus:
              C   D
And I'll be around
          G
I'll be around
          C   D
I'll be around
              G
Oh, I'll be around

I'm sorry if I offended you
But don't walk away
But someone's gotta speak the truth
About the things you say

You can't just dog everybody
Who's supposed to be your friend
Cause honey your dish is full
And your leash is waitin' on a friend

Chorus:
And I'll be around
I'll be around
I'll be around
Oh, I'll be around

I'll be around
Out on the town
I'll be around
Oh, I'll be around

I'll be around
I can always be found
Cause I'll be around
I'll be around
I'll be around
