I had a baby at 15   Daddy never did
 forgive me
C                           G
I never heard from the guy again
C                                 
I had to drop out of high school  
F
Everybody treated me so cruel

But I didn't give in and give her

 me I'm wrong

I ain't goin' down

    Am     Em                F
Her smile got me through the day
                    C           
And every night I'd pray I could 
           G
give her enough
     Am      Em           F 
At night I'd lie awake and cry 
                     C
hoping we'd get

by
                         G
'Cause you can't live on love


Verse:
          D
I worked night and day to keep us 
goin'
              Bm
Through the sweat and the tears 
without her knowin'
G                                 
It was worth it just to watch her 
A
grow
  D                            
At least I was able to hold her 
    G
whenever she needed my shoulder
 D                  A       D
I'm so glad I never let her go


Chorus:
          D                    
I'm gonna hold on 'cause what I 
    G    D     D    A
believe in is so strong
         G    D                   
No matter how long no one can tell
        G
 me I'm wrong
D          A  D
I ain't goin' down

    Bm   F#m                 G
Her smile got me through the years
               D                   
Dried away the tears, and filled me
      A
 with hope
    Bm       F#m           G     
At night I'd lie awake and cry 
                D
pray we would get by
                       A
And for the courage to cope
