If We Have Each Other Cifras

[Verse 1]
       Am
She was 19 with a baby on the way
       G
On the East-side of the city, she was working every day
         Em
Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake
        F                                               G
She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change
    Am                                                G
And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night to a one bedroom apartment
 
And when she'd turn on the light
          Em
She would sit down at the table
 
Tell herself that it's alright
        F                                             G
She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive
     Am               G
She'd never be alone
                      Em
Have someone to hold
 
And when nights were cold
F
She'd say
 
 
[Chorus]
N.C.            Am
The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
               G
If we got each other, and that's all we have
               Em
I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
           F
You should know I'll be there for you
         G           Am
When the world's not perfect
 
When the world's not kind
                G
If we have each other then we'll both be fine
               Em
I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand
           F                          G
You should know I'll be there for you
 
 
[Verse 2]
         Am
They were 90 and were living out their days
       G
on the West-side of the city next to where they got engaged
         Em
They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made
           F                                                G
And though life was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed
Am
  With each other, and though some times were hard
     G
Even when she made him angry he would never break her heart
         Em
No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy car
         F                                           G
But they never had to travel 'cause they'd never be apart
Am                G                            Em
  Even at the end, their love was stronger than the day that they first met
F
They say
 
 
[Chorus]
N.C.            Am
The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
               G
If we got each other, and that's all we have
               Em
I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand
           F
You should know I'll be there for you
         G           Am
When the world's not perfect
 
When the world's not kind
                G
If we have each other then we'll both be fine
               Em
I will be your lover, and I'll hold your hand
           F                        G
You should know I'll be there for you
 
 
[Bridge]
Am     G         Em
Mmm,  mmm-mmm,  mmm-mmm
           F                          G
You should know I'll be there for you
 
 
[Verse 3]
   Am
I'm 23, and my folks are getting old
       G
I know they don't have forever and I'm scared to be alone
       Em
So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we fight
     F                                              G
When high school wasn't easy, she's the reason I survived
  Am
I know she'd never leave me, and I hate to see her cry
     G
So I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
  Em
I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her side
  F                            F   N.C.
I wrote this verse to tell her that
 
 
[Chorus]
                Am
The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad
               G
If we got each other, and that's all we have
               Em
I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand
           F
You should know I'll be there for you
         G           Am
When the world's not perfect
 
When the world's not kind
                G
If we have each other then we'll both be fine
               Em
I will be your brother, and I'll hold your hand
           F                        G
You should know I'll be there for you
 
 
[Outro]
Am     G         Em
Mmm,  mmm-mmm,  mmm-mmm
           F                          G  Am
You should know I'll be there for you
