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