Verse 1:
Bbm She was 19 with a baby on the way
Ab On the East-side of the city, she was working every day
Fm Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake
GbAb She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change
BbmAb And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night to a one bedroom apartment
And when she'd turn on the light
Fm She would sit down at the table
Tell herself that it's alright
GbAb She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive
BbmAb She'd never be alone
Fm Have someone to hold
And when nights were cold
Gb She'd say

Bbm The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
Ab If we got each other, and that's all we have
Fm I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
Gb You should know I'll be there for you
AbBbm When the world's not perfect

Bbm With each other, and though some times were hard
Ab Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart
Fm No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car
