Alec Benjamin - If We Have Each Other chords
Start Jamming...
She was 19 with a baby [Ab] on the way on the east side of the city
She was working [Fm] every day cleaning dishes in the evening.
She could barely [Gb] stay awake
She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was [Bbm] gonna change and cross town
She would take the [Ab] bus at night to a one-bedroom apartment [Fm] and when she turned on the light
She would sit down at the table tell herself that [Gb] it's alright.
She was waiting on the day.
She hoped a baby [Bbm] would arrive.
She'd
Never be [Ab] alone
Have someone [Fm] to hold and when nights [Gb] were cold
She said [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
You should know I'll be there for you [Bbm] and the world's not perfect
But the world's not kind [Ab] if we have each other then we'll both be fine
I [Fm] will be your mother and I'll hold your hand [Gb] you should know I'll be there for you
[Bbm] They were 90 and we're living [Ab] out the days on the west side of the city next to where they [Fm] got engaged
They had pictures on the walls of all the memories [Gb] that they made and though life is never easy
They were thankful that [Bbm] they stayed with each other and though sometimes [Ab] were hard even when she made him angry
He would never [Fm] break a heart.
No, they didn't have the money to afford a [Gb] fancy car
But they never had to travel cuz they never be [Bbm] apart
Even at [Ab] the end
Their love was stronger [Fm] than the day that they first [Gb] met
They say [Bbm] the world's not perfect, but it's not that bad if [Ab] we got each other and that's all we have
I [Fm] will be your lover and I'll hold your hand
[Gb] You should know I'll be there for you and [Bbm] the world's not perfect
But the world's not kind if [Ab] we have each other then we'll both be fine
I [Fm] will be your lover and I'll hold your hand [Gb] you should know I'll be there for you
[Bbm] [Ab]
[Fm] [Gb] You
Should know I'll be there for you
[Bbm] I'm 23 and my folks are getting [Ab] old.
I don't know you don't have forever and I'm scared to be [Fm] alone
So I'm thankful for my sister, even though sometimes [Gb] we fight when high school wasn't easy.
She's the reason I [Bbm] survived
I know she never leave me and I hate to see [Ab] her cries
You're all this first to tell her that I'm always by [Fm] her side.
I wrote this verse to tell her that I'm always by [Gb] her side
I wrote this verse to tell her the [Bbm] world's not perfect, but it's not that bad if [Ab] we got each other and that's all we have
I [Fm] will be your brother and I'll hold your hand
[Gb] You should know I'll be there for you and [Bbm] the world's not perfect
But the world's not kind if [Ab] we have each other then we'll both be fine
I [Fm] will be your brother and I'll hold your hand.
[Gb] You should know I'll be there for you
[Bbm] [Fm]
[Gb] You should know I'll be there for you
[Bbm]
