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