Intro:
 Am  F  C G  C G
Ooh, ooh, ooh
 Am  F  C G  C G

Verse 1:
            Am           Fmaj7
She was walking in the street, looked up and noticed
    C   G        C*
He was nameless, he was homeless
   Cmaj7    Am           Fmaj7
She asked him his name and told him what hers was
       C  G  C  G
He gave her a story 'bout life
          Am          Fmaj7
With a glint in his eye and a corner of a smile
   C   G        C*
One conversation, a simple moment
   Cmaj7   Am       Fmaj7
The things that change us if we notice
 C   G    C  G
When we look up sometimes

Pre-Chorus:
     Am      Fmaj7
They said I would never make it
     C  G       C G
But I was built to break the mold
     Am          Fmaj7     C G
The only dream that I've been chasing is my own


Chorus:
             Am           F
So I sing a song for the hustlers trading at the bus stop
C   G          C*    Cmaj7
Single mothers waiting on a check to come
   Am        Fmaj7
Young teachers, student doctors
      G               C*   Cmaj7
Sons on the front line knowing they don't get to run
Am          Fmaj7
This goes out to the Underdog
G         C*    Cmaj7
Keep on keeping at what you love
    Am        Fmaj7
You'll find that someday soon enough
     C  G  C  G
You will rise up, rise up, yeah


Post-Chorus:
 Am  F  C G  C G
Ooh, ooh, ooh
 Am  F  C G  C G
Ooh, ooh, ooh


Verse 2:
         Am        Fmaj7
She's riding in a taxi back to the kitchen
    C    G             C    G
Talking to the driver 'bout his wife and his children
         Am              Fmaj7
On the run from a country where they put you in prison
    C   G
For being a woman and speaking your mind
         Am            Fmaj7
She looked in his eyes in the mirror and he smiled
   C   G        C    G
One conversation, a single moment
        Am       Fmaj7
The things that change us if we notice
    C    G
When we look up sometimes


Pre-Chorus:
     Am      Fmaj7
They said I would never make it
     C  G       C G

The only dream that I've been chasing is my own
