If We Have Each Other Chords by Alec Benjamin

[Bbm] She was 19 with a baby on the [Ab] way on the east side of the city
She was working every [Fm] day cleaning dishes in the evening.
She could [Gb] barely stay awake
She was clinging to the feeling that her [Ab] luck was gonna [Bbm] change and cross town
She would [Dbm] take the bus at [Ab] night to a bedroom apartment and when she [Fm] turned on the light
She would sit down at the table tell herself [Ab] that it's [Gb] alright.
She was waiting on the [Bbm] day.
She hoped a [Ab] baby would [Bbm] arrive.
She'd
Never be [Ab] alone
Have someone to [Fm] hold and when nights were [Gb] cold
She said [Bbm] the world's not perfect, but it's not that bad if we [Ab] got each other and it's all we have
I will [Fm] be your mother and I'll hold your hand
[Gb] You should know I'll be there for you and the [Bbm] world's not perfect when the world's not kind if we [Ab] have each other
Then we'll both be fine.
I will [Fm] be your mother and I'll hold your hand
[Gb] You should know I'll be there for [Ab] you
[Bbm] They were 90 and we're living at the [Ab] days on the west side of the city next to where they got [Fm] engaged
They had pictures on the walls of all the memories that they [Gb] made and the life is never easy
They were [Ab] thankful that they [Bbm] stayed with each other and though sometimes were [Ab] hard even when she made him angry
He would never break a [Fm] heart.
They didn't have the money to afford a fancy [Gb] car
But they never had to travel cuz they [Ab] never be [Bbm] apart
even at the [Ab] end
Their love was stronger [Fm] than the day that they first [Gb] met They say
[Bbm] World's not perfect, but it's not that bad if we [Ab] got each other and it's all we have
I will [Fm] be your lover and I'll hold your hand
[Gb] You should know I'll be [Ebm] there for you and the [Bbm] world's not perfect when the world's not kind if we [Ab] have each other
Then we'll both be fine.

I don't know you don't have forever and I'm [Fm] scared to be alone
So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes we [Gb] fight when high school wasn't easy.
She's the [Ab] reason I [Bbm] survived
I know she never leave me and I hate to see you [Ab] cry
So I'll hold this verse to tell her that I'm always by her [Fm] side
I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by her [Gb] side.
