[Verse 1]
---------------------
Am
She was nineteen with a baby on the way
G
On the Eastside of the city, she was working every day
Em
Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake
F
She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change
Am
And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night
G
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
F
She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive
[Bridge (1)]
---------------------
Am G
She'd never be alone
Em
Have someone to hold
F
And when nights were cold
She'd say
[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
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
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
You should know I'll be there for you
[Verse 2]
---------------------
Am
They were ninety and were living out their days
G
On the Westside 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 Am
And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed
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 Am
But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart
[Bridge (2)]
---------------------
G
Even at the end
Em
Their love was stronger than
F
The day that they first met
They'd say
[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
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
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
You should know I'll be there for you
[Interlude]
---------------------
Am | G | Em
F
You should know I'll be there for you
[Verse 3]
---------------------
Am
I'm twenty three, 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
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 (3)]
---------------------
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
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
You should know I'll be there for you
[Outro]
---------------------
Am | G | Em
F Am
You should know I'll be there for
