Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↓↑-↓↑

She was [Am]19 with a baby on the way On the [Em]East-side of the city, she was working every day Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake She was [F]clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change And, [Am]across town she’d take the bus at night to a one [Em]bedroom apartment And then she’d turn on the light She would sit down at the table tell herself that it’s alright She was [F]waiting on the day that she hoped her baby would arrive She’d [Am]never be alone, [G]have someone to hold [Em]And when nights were cold, [F]she’d say

The world’s not [Am]perfect but it’s not that bad If we got each [G]other and that’s all we have I will be your [Em]mother and I’ll hold your hand You should [F]know I’ll be there for [G]you And the world’s not [Am]perfect when the world’s not kind If we have each [G]other then we’ll both be fine I will be your [Em]mother and I’ll hold your hand You should [F]know I’ll be there for [G]you

They were [Am]90 and were living out their days On the [Em]West-side of the city next to where they got engaged They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they made And their [F]life was never easy they were thankful that they stayed [Am]With each other and though some times were hard Even [Em]when she made him angry he would never break her heart And they didn’t have the money to afford a fancy car But they [F]never had to travel ’cause they’d [G]never be apart [Am]Even at the end, their [G]love was stronger then the [Em]day that they first met [F]They’d say

[Am] [G] [Em]You should [F]know I’ll be there for you

I’m [Am]23 and my folks are getting old I know [G]they don’t have forever and I’m scared to be alone So I’m [Em]thankful for my sister even though sometimes we fight When [F]high school wasn’t easy, she’s the [G]reason I survived I [Am]know she’d never leave me and I hate to see her cry So I [G]wrote this verse to tell her that I’m always by her side I [Em]wrote this verse to tell her that I’m always by her side I [F]wrote this verse to tell her that

[Am] [G] [Em]You should [F]know I’ll be there for you
