A#m She was 19 with a baby on the way G# On the East-side of the city, she was working every day Fm Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake F# G# She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change A#m G# And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night 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# She was waiting on the day G# she hoped her baby would arrive A#m G# She'd never be alone Fm Have someone to hold And when nights were cold F# She'd say Chorus: A#m The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad G# 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 G# A#m When the world's not perfect When the world's not kind G# If we have each other then we'll both be fine Fm I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand F# G# You should know I'll be there for you They were 90 and were living out their days On the Westside of the city, next to where they got engaged They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed With each other, and though some times were hard Even when she made him angry, he would never break her heart No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart Even at the end Their love was stronger than The day that they first met They'd say Chorus: The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad If we got each other, and that's all we have I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand You should know I'll be there for you When the world's not perfect, when the world's not kind If we have each other then we'll both be fine I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand You should know I'll be there for you A#m G# Fm Oh Ooh OOoh F# G# You should know I'll be there for you I'm 23, and my folks are getting old I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived I know she'd never leave me, and I hate to see her cry So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side I wrote this verse to tell her that Chorus: The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad If we got each other, and that's all we have I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand You should know I'll be there for you When the world's not perfect, when the world's not kind If we have each other then we'll both be fine I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand You should know I'll be there for you Mmm, mmm, mmm You should know I'll be there for you You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#m  Fm  F#  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
