[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 F G She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change Am G 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 tableTell herself that it's alright
F G She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive Am G She'd never be alone Em Have someone to hold
And when nights were cold
F
She'd say[Chorus]
N.C. 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 G Am 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 F G You should know I'll be there for you
[Verse 2]
Am They were 90 and were living out their days G 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 F G 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 F G But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart Am G Em Even at the end, their love was stronger than the day that they first met F They say
[Chorus]
N.C. 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 G Am 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 G You should know I'll be there for you
[Bridge]
Am G Em Mmm, mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm F G 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 F G 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 F N.C. 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 G Am 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 F G You should know I'll be there for you
[Outro]
Am G Em Mmm, mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm F G Am You should know I'll be there for you
