Alec Benjamin - If We Have Each Other Chords

[verse 1]
       Bbm
She was 19 with a baby on the way
        Ab
On the East-side of the city,
she was working every day
          Fm
Cleaning dishes in the evening,
she could barely stay awake
         Gb
She was clinging to the feeling that
                          Ab
her luck was gonna change
     Bbm
And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night
      Ab
to a one bedroom apartment

And when she'd turn on the light
           Fm
She would sit down at the table

Tell herself that it's alright
         Gb
She was waiting on the day
                              Ab
she hoped her baby would arrive
     Bbm               Ab
She'd never be alone
                       Fm
Have someone to hold

And when nights were cold
Gb
She'd say

[chorus]
               Bbm
The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
           Ab
If we got each other, and that's all we have
               Fm
I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
           Gb
You should know I'll be there for you
           Ab         Bbm
When the world's not perfect

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

[verse 2]
         Bbm
They were 90 and were living out their days
        Ab
on the West-side of the city
next to where they got engaged
         Fm
They had pictures on the walls of
all the memories that they'd made
           Gb
And though life was never easy,
                                 Ab
they were thankful that they stayed
Bbm
With each other, and though some times were hard
     Ab
Even when she made him angry
he would never break her heart
         Fm
No, they didn't have the money
to afford a fancy car
          Gb
But they never had to travel 'cause they'd
             Ab
never be apart
Bbm              Ab
Even at the end, their love was stronger
      Fm
than the day that they first met
 Gb
They say

[chorus]
               Bbm
The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
           Ab
If we got each other, and that's all we have
               Fm
I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand
           Gb
You should know I'll be there for you
           Ab         Bbm
When the world's not perfect

When the world's not kind
            Ab
If we have each other then we'll both be fine
                Fm
I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand
           Gb
You should know I'll be there for you

[bridge]
Bbm   Ab    Fm
Oh  Ooh OOoh
           Gb                          Ab
You should know I'll be there for you

[verse 3]
   Bbm
I'm 23, and my folks are getting old
       Ab
I know they don't have forever and
I'm scared to be alone
       Fm
So I'm thankful for my sister,
even though sometimes we fight
     Gb
When high school wasn't easy, she's
                   Ab
the reason I survived
  Bbm
I know she'd never leave me

And I hate to see her cry
      Ab
So I wrote this verse to tell her
that I'm always by her side
  Fm
I wrote this verse to tell her
that I'm always by her side
  Gb
I wrote this verse to tell her that

[chorus]
                Bbm
The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
          Ab
If we got each other, and that's all we have
               Fm
I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand
          Gb
You should know I'll be there for you
       Ab             Bbm
When the world's not perfect

When the world's not kind
           Ab
If we have each other then we'll both be fine
               Fm
I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand
           Gb                         Ab
You should know I'll be there for you

[outro]
Bbm  Ab   Fm
Oh Ooh Oooh
           Gb                         Ab  Bbm
You should know I'll be there for you
