If We Have Each Other

If We Have Each Other: Chords

       SIbm               
She was 19 with a baby on the way
       LAb
On the east side of the city, 

she was working every day
         FAm
Cleaning dishes in the evening, 

she could barely stay awake
        SOLb
She was clinging to the feeling 
                        LAb
that her luck was gonna change
    SIbm
And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night
   LAb
To a one bedroom apartment, 
   
and when she'd turn on the light
          FAm
She would sit down at the table, 

tell herself that it's alright
        SOLb
She was waiting on the day 
                          LAb
she hoped her baby would arrive
     SIbm
She'd never be alone
    LAb
Have someone to hold
FAm
 And when nights were cold
SOLb
 She'd say

                SIbm
The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
               LAb
If we got each other, and that's all we have
               FAm
I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
           SOLb
You should know I'll be there for you
         LAb            SIbm
When the world's not perfect

When the world's not kind
                LAb
If we have each other then we'll both be fine
               FAm
I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
           SOLb                        LAb
You should know I'll be there for you

         SIbm
They were 90 and were living out their days
       LAb
On the west side of the city 

next to where they got engaged
         FAm
They had pictures on the walls of all 

the memories that they'd made
           SOLb
And though life was never easy, 
                            LAb    SIbm
they were thankful that they stayed
                                     
With each other, and though some times were hard
     LAb
Even when she made him angry 

he would never break her heart
         FAm
No, they didn't have the money 

to afford a fancy car
         SOLb
But they never had to travel 
                        LAb  SIbm
'cause they'd never be apart

Even at the end
LAb
 Their love was stronger than
FAm
 The day that they first met
SOLb
 They'd say

                SIbm
The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
               LAb
If we got each other, and that's all we have
               FAm
I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
           SOLb
You should know I'll be there for you
         LAb            SIbm
When the world's not perfect

When the world's not kind
                LAb
If we have each other then we'll both be fine
               FAm
I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
           SOLb                        LAb
You should know I'll be there for you...

SIbm      LAb      FAm      

           SOLb                        LAb
You should know I'll be there for you

   SIbm
I'm 23, and my folks are getting old
            LAb
I know they don't have forever 

and I'm scared to be alone
       FAm
So I'm thankful for my sister, 

even though sometimes we fight
     SOLb
When high school wasn't easy, 
                      LAb
she's the reason I survived
  SIbm
I know she'd never leave me 

and I hate to see her cry
     LAb
So I wrote this verse to tell her 

that I'm always by her side
  FAm
I wrote this verse to tell her 

that I'm always by her side
  SOLb
I wrote this verse to tell her that

                SIbm
The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
               LAb
If we got each other, and that's all we have
               FAm
I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
           SOLb
You should know I'll be there for you
         LAb            SIbm
When the world's not perfect

When the world's not kind
                LAb
If we have each other then we'll both be fine
               FAm
I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
           SOLb                        LAb
You should know I'll be there for you...

SIbm      LAb      FAm

           SOLb                         LAb SIbm
You should know I'll be there for you
