[VERSE 1]
She was [Am]19 with a baby on the way
On the Ea[G]st-side of the city, she was working every day
Cleaning di[Em]shes in the evening, she could barely stay awake
She was cl[F]inging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change [G]
And, '[Am]cross town she would take the bus at night to a o[G]ne bedroom apartment

And when she'd turn on the light
She would si[Em]t down at the table

Tell herself that it's alright
She was wa[F]iting on the day she hoped her baby would arriv[G]e
She'd [Am]never be alone [G]
Have someone to hold [Em]

And when nights were cold
[F]She'd say


[CHORUS]
The world's not [Am]perfect, but it's not that bad
If we got ea[G]ch other, and that's all we have
I will be your m[Em]other, and I'll hold your hand
You should k[F]now I'll be there for you
When the wor[G]ld's not p[Am]erfect

When the world's not kind
If we have ea[G]ch other then we'll both be fine
I will be your mo[Em]ther, and I'll hold your hand
You should k[F]now I'll be there for you [G]

[VERSE 2]
They were [Am]90 and were living out their days on the W[G]est-side of the city next to where they got engaged
They had p[Em]ictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made
And though l[F]ife was never easy, they were thankful that they stay[G]ed
[Am]With each other, and though some times were hard
Even w[G]hen she made him angry he would never break her heart
No, they d[Em]idn't have the money to afford a fancy car
But they ne[F]ver had to travel 'cause they'd never be apar[G]t
[Am]Even at the end,[G] their love was stronger than[Em] the day that they first met
Th[F]ey say

[CHORUS]
The world's not [Am]perfect, but it's not that bad
If we got ea[G]ch other, and that's all we have
I will be your l[Em]over, and I'll hold your hand
You should k[F]now I'll be there for you
When the wor[G]ld's not p[Am]erfect

When the world's not kind
If we have ea[G]ch other then we'll both be fine
I will be your lo[Em]ver, and I'll hold your hand
You should k[F]now I'll be there for you

[BRIDGE]
[Am]Oh O[G]oh OO[Em]oh
You should k[F]now I'll be there for you [G]

[VERSE 3]
I'm [Am]23, and my folks are getting old
I know t[G]hey don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone
So I'm t[Em]hankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight
When h[F]igh school wasn't easy, she's the reason I surviv[G]ed
I k[Am]now she'd never leave me

And I hate to see her cry
So I wr[G]ote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
I w[Em]rote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
I w[F]rote this verse to tell her that

[CHORUS]
The world's not p[Am]erfect, but it's not that bad
If we got e[G]ach other, and that's all we have
I will be your b[Em]rother, and I'll hold your hand
You should [F]know I'll be there for you
When the[G] world's not p[Am]erfect

When the world's not kind
If we have e[G]ach other then we'll both be fine
I will be your b[Em]rother, and I'll hold your hand
You should k[F]now I'll be there for you [G]

[OUTRO]
[Am]Oh O[G]oh O[Em]ooh
You should k[F]now I'll be there for you [G] [Am]
