[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 table

Tell 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]
                        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                                                          G
They were 90 and were living out their days 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]
                        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
You should know I'll be there for you

[Bridge]
Am G      Em
Oh  Ooh OOoh
                   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
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
Oh  Ooh Oooh
                   F                                    G Am
You should know I'll be there for you
