I often say 1972 was my favorite year in pop music... so many great tunes from that year, including this one. Hope you like my rendition!
[intro: Gmaj7// Bm - F#m// Bm - Gmaj7// Bm - F#m//] x2

[Gmaj7] This
[F#m] is our fork in the [Gmaj7] road
[F#m] Love's last epi[Gmaj7]sode
[F#m] There's nowhere to [Gmaj7] go, oh [F#m] no
You made your [Gmaj7] choice
[F#m] Now it's up to [Gmaj7] me
To [F#m] bow out graceful[Gmaj7]ly
[F#m] Though you hold the [Gmaj7] key, but baby [F#m]

chorus:
Whenever you [Gmaj7] call me, I'll be [F#m] there
Whenever you [Gmaj7] want me, I'll be [F#m] there
Whenever you [Gmaj7] need me, I'll be [F#m] there
I'll be a[Bm]round

[Gmaj7] I
[F#m] knew just what to [Gmaj7] say
[F#m] Now I found out to[Gmaj7]day
that all the [F#m] words have slipped a[Gmaj7] way
But I [F#m] know, there's always a [Gmaj7] chance
a [F#m] tiny spark will re[Gmaj7]main, yeah
and [F#m] sparks turn into [Gmaj7] flames
and [F#m] love can burn once a[Gmaj7]gain
But I know you [F#m] know (refrain)

[ instrumental: Gmaj7/// F#m/// Gmaj7/// F#m///
Gmaj7/// F#m/// Gmaj7/// F#m ]

Whenever you [Gmaj7] call me
I'll be [F#m] there
Whenever you [Gmaj7] want me
I'll be [F#m] there
Even if I have to [Gmaj7] crawl
I'll be [F#m] there
I'll be a[Bm]round
Just call me on the [Gmaj7] phone
I'll be [F#m] there
I'll never leave you a[Gmaj7]lone
I'll be [F#m] there
Just call out my [Gmaj7] name
I know I know, you [F#m] know, I'll be a[Bm]round
