[Verse 1]
A
She walked into this world I made on a
F#m A
Little park bench under the shade
D Bm E
Of a sweet gum tree whose leaves were red and brown
A
I looked up and I saw her face
F#m A
That was full of fortitude and grace
D Bm E
She said, "If you don't mind, can I please sit down?"
A
See I've been working since the morning
F#m
When the sun starts settling in
D Bm E
That's when I walk across the town to where my second job begins
A Dm A
I got two kids I must feed, I've got no time to sit with them and read
D Bm E
The counselors keep on telling me my boy's got special needs
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m
But don't we all got issues?
D
It's just the stuff we live through
B
Everybody's got their coffee stains
Bm E
I ain't complaining, I'm just saying
[Chorus]
A E
That I ain't been to Harvard
F#m C#m D
And I ain't got no big degrees
A D E
Everything I know, I learned it on these bitter streets
A E
And I, can't afford the good life
F#m C#m
But only real love comes for free
D A
And some days my head's up in the clouds
D E Bm
But I'm allowed to dream
[Verse 2]
A
As she got up and walked away
F#m A
I said, "Goodbye," I gave a wave
D F#m Bm E
And watched that lady fade into the crowd
A
And I thought maybe we're the same, hey
F#m A
We both cry and we feel shame
D F#m
And we both know there still some things
Bm E
We've yet to figure out
A
See I've been writing since the morning
F#m
When the sun starts settling in
D
I cross the town to check the sound
Bm E
Where my second job begins
A F#m A
I've got two kids to feed, some doubts and insecurities
D F#m Bm
I pray that I provide a life for everything they need
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m
But don't we all got issues?
D
It's just the stuff we live through
B
Everybody's got their coffee stains
Bm E
I ain't complaining, I'm just saying
[Chorus]
A E
That I ain't been to Harvard
F#m C#m D
And I ain't got no big degrees
A D E
Everything I know, I learned it on these bitter streets
A E
And I, can't afford the good life
F#m C#m
But only real love comes for free
D A
And some days my head's up in the clouds
D E
But I'm allowed to dream
[Post-Chorus]
D F#m Bm E
Oh, woah-oh-oh
[Bridge]
A C#m
As I'm heading home, I think of how
Her shift is probably ending now
D
And I'll be on a plane this time tomorrow
Bm B
Some folks are on an uphill climb
Some coast along on borrowed time
Bm E
Still others need a little time to borrow
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m
But don't we all got issues?
D
It's just the stuff we live through
B
Everybody's got their coffee stains
Bm E
I ain't complaining, I'm just saying
[Chorus]
A E
That I ain't been to Harvard
F#m C#m D
And I ain't got no big degrees
A D E
Everything I know, I learned it on these bitter streets
A E
And I, can't afford the good life
F#m C#m
But only real love comes for free
D A
And some days my head's up in the clouds
D E
But I'm allowed to dream
[Outro]
D F#m Bm
Oh, woah-oh-oh
E A F#m A
But I'm allowed to dream
A F# Bm
I ain't been to Harvard
A A
But I'm allowed to dream
