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