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