[Verse 1] Am She was 19 with a baby on the way G On the East-side of the city, she was working every day Em Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake FG She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change AmG And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night to a one bedroom apartment
And when she'd turn on the light Em She would sit down at the table
Tell herself that it's alright FG She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive AmG She'd never be alone Em Have someone to hold
And when nights were cold F She'd say
[Chorus] Am The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad G If we got each other, and that's all we have Em I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand F You should know I'll be there for you GAm When the world's not perfect
When the world's not kind G If we have each other then we'll both be fine Em I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand FG You should know I'll be there for you
[Verse 2] AmG They were 90 and were living out their days on the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged Em They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made FG And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed Am With each other, and though some times were hard G Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart Em No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car FG But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart AmGEm Even at the end, their love was stronger than the day that they first met F They say
[Chorus] Am The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad G If we got each other, and that's all we have Em I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand F You should know I'll be there for you GAm When the world's not perfect
When the world's not kind G If we have each other then we'll both be fine Em I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand F You should know I'll be there for you
[Bridge] AmGEm Oh Ooh OOoh FG You should know I'll be there for you
[Verse 3] Am I'm 23, and my folks are getting old G I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone Em So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight FG When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived Am I know she'd never leave me
And I hate to see her cry G So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side Em I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side F I wrote this verse to tell her that
[Chorus] Am The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad G If we got each other, and that's all we have Em I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand F You should know I'll be there for you GAm When the world's not perfect
When the world's not kind G If we have each other then we'll both be fine Em I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand FG You should know I'll be there for you
[Outro] AmGEm Oh Ooh Oooh FGAm You should know I'll be there for you
