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