Introdução: C7M Cdim Dm7/9 G7/13 
 
C    C/B  Am7  Am7/G 
I'll be around 
          Dm  Dm7+      Dm7      G 
No matter how      you treat me now  
C7M  Am7 C7M  Dm7   G7  C Gdim Dm7 G7 
I'll be  around    from now on 
C    C/B    Am7  Am7/G 
Your latest love

Can never last,   and when its past 
C7M  Am7 C7M  Dm7    G7     C Fdim C C7M  
I'll be  around    when she's gone 
 
Bridge 
 
     C#7   Gm7 C7   Gm7 
Goodbye   again  
    C#7    Gm7     C7  Edim  F7M 
And if you find a love like mine  
     G#7  D7 G7/13  G7 
Just now and then 
    C     Edim               Dm7     Fdim 
Oh drop a line to say you're feeling fine 
     C    C/B      Am7  Am7/G 
And when things go wrong 
               Dm  Dm7+       Dm7       G 
Perhaps you'll see     you're meant for me 
         C7M  Am7 C7M  Dm7   G7       C 
And now I'll be  around    when she's gone 
     C#7   Gm7 C7 Gm7 
Goodbye   again  
    C#7    Gm7     C7  Edim  F7M 
And if you find a love like mine  
     G#7  D7 G7/13  G7 
Just now and then 
    C     Edim                     Dm7     Fdim G#7  
Oh drop a line to say you're feeling fine 
     C#    C#/C      Bbm7  Bbm7/G# 
And when things go wrong 
               D#m  D#m7+       D#m7       G# 
Perhaps you'll see     you're meant for me 
   C#7M  Bbm7 C#7M  D#m7   G#7 C# F#dim C# C#7M 
So I'll be  around           when she's gone 
D#m7   G#7   C#  
When she's gone
