[Verse 1]
She was A#m19 with a baby on the way
On the EaG#st-side of the city, she was working every day
Cleaning diFmshes in the evening, she could barely stay awake
She was clF#inging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change G#
And, 'A#mcross town she would take the bus at night to a oG#ne bedroom apartment
And when she'd turn on the light
She would siFmt down at the table
Tell herself that it's alright
She was waF#iting on the day she hoped her baby would arrivG#e
She'd A#mnever be alone
G#Have someone to hold
FmAnd when nights were cold
F#She'd say
[Chorus]
The world's not A#mperfect, but it's not that bad
If we got eaG#ch other, and that's all we have
I will be your mFmother, and I'll hold your hand
You should kF#now I'll be there for you
When the worG#ld's not pA#merfect
When the world's not kind
If we have eaG#ch other then we'll both be fine
I will be your moFmther, and I'll hold your hand
You should kF#now I'll be there for you G#
[Verse 2]
They were A#m90 and were living out their days
on thG#e West-side of the city next to where they got engaged
They had pFmictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made
And though lF#ife was never easy, they were thankful that they stayG#ed
A#mWith each other, and though some times were hard
Even wG#hen she made him angry he would never break her heart
No, they dFmidn't have the money to afford a fancy car
But they neF#ver had to travel 'cause they'd never be aparG#t
A#mEven at the end,G# their love was stronger thanFm the day that they first met
ThF#ey say
[Chorus]
The world's not A#mperfect, but it's not that bad
If we got eaG#ch other, and that's all we have
I will be your lFmover, and I'll hold your hand
You should kF#now I'll be there for you
When the worG#ld's not pA#merfect
When the world's not kind
If we have eaG#ch other then we'll both be fine
I will be your loFmver, and I'll hold your hand
You should kF#now I'll be there for you
[Bridge]
A#mOh OG#oh OOFmoh
You should kF#now I'll be there for you G#
[Verse 3]
I'm A#m23, and my folks are getting old
I know tG#hey don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone
So I'm tFmhankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight
When hF#igh school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survivG#ed
I kA#mnow she'd never leave me
And I hate to see her cry
So I wrG#ote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
I wFmrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
I wF#rote this verse to tell her that
[Chorus]
The world's not pA#merfect, but it's not that bad
If we got eG#ach other, and that's all we have
I will be your bFmrother, and I'll hold your hand
You should F#know I'll be there for you
When theG# world's not pA#merfect
When the world's not kind
If we have eG#ach other then we'll both be fine
I will be your bFmrother, and I'll hold your hand
You should kF#now I'll be there for you G#
[Outro]
A#mOh OG#oh OFmooh
You should kF#now I'll be there for you G# A#m
