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