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