She was Em19 with a baby on the way
On the Dsus2East-side of the city, she was working every day
Cleaning Hm7dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake
She was Cclinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna D/Cchange
AndEm, 'cross town she would take the bus at night
To a Dsus2one-bedroom apartment, and when she'd turn on the light
She would Hm7sit down at the table, tell herself that it's alright
She was Cwaiting on the day she hoped her baby would D/Carrive
She'd Emnever be aloneDsus2
Have someone to holdHm7
And when nights were coldC
She'd say
The world's not Em7perfect, but it's not that bad
If we got each Dother, and that's Dsus2all we have
I will be your Hmmother, and I'll hold Hm7your hand
You should Cknow I'll be there for you
D/CWhen the world's not Em7perfect
When the world's not kind
If we have each Dother then we'll both Dsus2be fine
I will be your Hmmother, and I'll hold Hm7your hand
You should Cknow I'll be there for youD/C
They were Em90 and were living out their days
on the Dsus2West-side of the city next to where they got engaged
They had Hm7pictures on the walls of all the memories that they'd made
And though Clife was never easy, they were thankful that they stayed
EmWith each other, and though some times were hard
Even Dsus2when she made him angry he would never break her heart
No, they Hm7didn't have the money to afford a fancy car
But they Cnever had to travel 'cause they'd never be D/Capart
EmEven at the endDsus2
Their love was stronger thanHm7
The day that they first metC
