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