Lam She was 19 with a baby on the way Sol On the East-side of the city, she was working every day Mim Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake Fa Sol She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change Lam Sol And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night to a one bedroom apartment And when she'd turn on the light Mim She would sit down at the table Tell herself that it's alright Fa Sol She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive Lam Sol She'd never be alone Mim Have someone to hold And when nights were cold Fa She'd say Lam The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad Sol If we got each other, and that's all we have Mim I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand Fa You should know I'll be there for you Sol Lam When the world's not perfect When the world's not kind Sol If we have each other then we'll both be fine Mim I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand Fa Sol You should know I'll be there for you Lam Sol They were 90 and were living out their days on the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged Mim They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made Fa Sol And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed Lam With each other, and though some times were hard Sol Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart Mim No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car Fa Sol But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart Lam Sol Mim Even at the end, their love was stronger than the day that they first met Fa They say Lam The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad Sol If we got each other, and that's all we have Mim I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand Fa You should know I'll be there for you Sol Lam When the world's not perfect When the world's not kind Sol If we have each other then we'll both be fine Mim I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand Fa You should know I'll be there for you Lam Sol Mim Oh Ooh OOoh Fa Sol You should know I'll be there for you Lam I'm 23, and my folks are getting old Sol I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone Mim So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight Fa Sol When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived Lam I know she'd never leave me And I hate to see her cry Sol So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side Mim I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side Fa I wrote this verse to tell her that Lam The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad Sol If we got each other, and that's all we have Mim I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand Fa You should know I'll be there for you Sol Lam When the world's not perfect When the world's not kind Sol If we have each other then we'll both be fine Mim I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand Fa Sol You should know I'll be there for you Lam Sol Mim Oh Ooh Oooh Fa Sol Lam You should know I'll be there for you
