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