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