Chords for Alec Benjamin - If We Have Each Other [Official Lyric Video]

[Bbm] She was 19 [Ab] with a baby on the way on the east side of the city
She was working [Fm] every day cleaning dishes in the evening.
She could barely stay [Gb] awake
She was clinging to the feeling that [Ab] her luck was gonna [Bbm] change and cross town
She [Db] would take the bus [Ab] at night to a one-bedroom apartment and [Cm] when she turned on [Fm] the light
She would sit down at the table tell [Ab] herself that it's [Gb] alright.
She was waiting on the day
She hoped [Ab] a baby would [Bbm] arrive.
She'd never be [Ab] alone
_ Have someone to [Fm] hold and when nights [Gb] were cold She'd [Bbm] say
World's not perfect, but it's not that bad if [Ab] we got each other and it's all we have
I [Fm] will be your mother and I'll hold your hand
[Gb] You should know I'll be there for you and [Bbm] the 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 were living out 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 though life is never easy
They were [Ab] thankful that [Bbm] they stayed with each other and though sometimes were [Ab] hard even when she made him angry
He would never break a [Fm] heart.
No, they didn't have the money to afford a fancy [Gb] car
But they never had to travel cuz [Ab] they'd 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 there for [Ab] 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 lover and I'll hold your hand
[Gb] You should know I'll be there for [Ebm] you
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ [Gb] You should know I'll be there for [Ab] you
[Bbm] 23 my folks are getting [Ab] old.
I 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 her [Ab] cry
So I wrote 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.
I wrote this verse to [Bbm] tell her that
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 brother and I'll hold your hand
[Gb] You should [Ebm] 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 [Db] be your brother and I'll hold your hand.
[Gb] You should know I'll be there for [Ab] you
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gb] You should know I'll be there for [Ab] you
