Capo 1
She was [Am]19 with a baby on the way
On the [Em]East-side of the city, she was working every day
Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake
She was [F]clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change
And, [Am]across town she'd take the bus at night to a one [Em]bedroom apartment
And then she'd turn on the light
She would sit down at the table tell herself that it's alright
She was [F]waiting on the day that she hoped her baby would arrive
She'd [Am]never be alone
[G]Have someone to hold
[Em]And when nights were cold, [F]she'd say
The world's not [Am]perfect but it's not that bad
If we got each [G]other and that's all we have
I will be your [Em]mother and I'll hold your hand
You should [F]know I'll be there for [G]you
And the world's not [Am]perfect when the world's not kind
If we have each [G]other then we'll both be fine
I will be your [Em]mother and I'll hold your hand
You should [F]know I'll be there for [G]you
They were [Am]90 and were living out their days
On the [Em]West-side of the city next to where they got engaged
They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they made
And their [F]life was never easy they were thankful that they stayed
[Am]With each other and though some times were hard
Even [Em]when she made him angry he would never break her heart
And they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car
But they [F]never had to travel 'cause they'd [G]never be apart
[Am]Even at the end, their [G]love was stronger then the [Em]day that they first met
[F]They'd say
The world's not [Am]perfect but it's not that bad
If we got each [G]other and that's all we have
I will be your [Em]mother and I'll hold your hand
You should [F]know I'll be there for [G]you
And the world's not [Am]perfect when the world's not kind
If we have each [G]other then we'll both be fine
I will be your [Em]mother and I'll hold your hand
You should [F]know I'll be there for [G]you
[Am] [G] [Em]You should [F]know I'll be there for you
I'm [Am]23 and my folks are getting old
I know [G]they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone
So I'm [Em]thankful for my sister even though sometimes we fight
When [F]high school wasn't easy, she's the [G]reason I survived
I [Am]know she'd never leave me and I hate to see her cry
So I [G]wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
I [Em]wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
I [F]wrote this verse to tell her that
The world's not [Am]perfect but it's not that bad
If we got each [G]other and that's all we have
I will be your [Em]mother and I'll hold your hand
You should [F]know I'll be there for [G]you
And the world's not [Am]perfect when the world's not kind
If we have each [G]other then we'll both be fine
I will be your [Em]mother and I'll hold your hand
You should [F]know I'll be there for [G]you
[Am] [G] [Em]You should [F]know I'll be there for you
