Verse: 
C                    F 
I had a baby at 15   Daddy never did forgive me 
C                           G 
I never heard from the guy again 
C                                 F 
I had to drop out of high school  Everybody treated me so cruel 
C                        G         C 
But I didn?t give in and give her away 
 
Chorus: 
 
C                                    F  C     C    G

No matter how long no one can tell me I?m wrong 
 C      G  G   C 
I ain?t goin? down 
 
    Am     Em                F 
Her smile got me through the day 
                    C                      G 
And every night I?d pray I could give her enough 
     Am      Em           F                      C                                                              
At night I'd lie awake and cry 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                                 A 
It was worth it just to watch her grow 
  D                                G 
At least I was able to hold her whenever she needed my shoulder 
 D                  A       D 
I?m so glad I never let her go 
 
 
Chorus: 
          D                        G    D     D    A 
I?m gonna hold on ?cause what I believe in is so strong 
         G    D                           G 
No matter how long no one can tell me I?m wrong 
D          A  D 
I ain?t goin? down 
 
    Bm   F#m                 G 
Her smile got me through the years  
               D                         A 
Dried away the tears, and filled me with hope 
    Bm       F#m           G                     D 
At night I?d lie awake and cry pray we would get by 
                       A 
And for the courage to cope
