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

[Bbm] She was 19 with a baby [Ab] on the way on the east side of the city
She [G] was working [Fm] every day cleaning dishes in the evening.
She could barely stay [Gb] awake
She was clinging to the feeling [Ab] that her luck was gonna [Bbm] change and cross town
[Db] She would take the bus [Ab] at night to a one-bedroom apartment and 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 [Fm] to hold
And when I'm gone
The nights [Gb] were cold She [Bbm] said
The 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
When [Bbm] the world's not perfect
When the world's not kind
If [Ab] we 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 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 was 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 her [Fm] heart
No they didn't have the money to afford a fancy [Gb] car
But they never had to travel
Cause they'd [Ab] never be [Bbm] apart
Even at the [Ab] end
Their love was stronger [Fm] than
The day that they first [Gb] met They'd say
[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 lover and I'll hold your hand
[Gb] You should know I'll be there for [Ab] you
When 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 [Ab] you
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Fm] _ [Gb] You should know I'll be there for [Ab] you
[Bbm] You should know I'll be there for you
I'm 23 and my [Ab] folks are getting old
I know they 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'd 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 tell her
[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 brother and I'll hold your hand
[Ebm] You should know I'll be there for you
When 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
