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