[VERSE ONE]
Bbm
She was 19 with a baby on the way
Ab
On the EastSide of the city, she was working every day
Fm
Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake
F#
She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change
Bbm
And 'cross town she would take the bus at night
Ab
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
F# Ab
She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive
[PRE-CHORUS]
Bbm
She'd never be alone
Ab
Have someone to hold
Fm
And when nights were cold
F#
She'd say
www.tekpoin.com
[CHORUS]
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
F#
You should know I'll be there for you
Bbm
When the world's not perfect, when the world's not kind
Ab
If we have each other then we'll both be fine
Fm
I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
F#
You should know I'll be there for you
[VERSE TWO]
Bbm
They were 90 and were living out their days
Ab
On the Westside of the city, next to where they got engaged
Fm
They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made
F# Ab
And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed
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
F# Ab
But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart
Bbm
Even at the end
Ab
Their love was stronger than
Fm
The day that they first met
F#
They'd say
www.tekpoin.com
[CHORUS]
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 lover, and I'll hold your hand
F#
You should know I'll be there for you
Bbm
When the world's not perfect, when the world's not kind
Ab
If we have each other then we'll both be fine
Fm
I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
F#
You should know I'll be there for you
[BRIDGE]
Bbm Ab Fm
Mmm, mmm, mmm
F# Ab
You should know I'll be there for you
[VERSE THREE]
Bbm
I'm 23, and my folks are getting old
Ab
I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone
Fm
So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight
F# Ab
When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived
Bbm
I know she'd never leave me, and I hate to see her cry
Ab
So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
Fm
I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
F#
I wrote this verse to tell her that
[CHORUS]
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 brother, and I'll hold your hand
F#
You should know I'll be there for you
Bbm
When the world's not perfect, when the world's not kind
Ab
If we have each other then we'll both be fine
Fm
I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
F#
You should know I'll be there for you
[OUTRO]
Bbm Ab Fm
Mmm, mmm, mmm
F# Ab
You should know I'll be there for you
