Because this world can be so cEmruel
I said, You too and kept oCn dreaming

You won't survive out on your oEmwn
You're on a fast break running aCimless

(2x)

[Verse 1]

G D

I was 14 and losing ground

In a black top of a town

Where no one wins and no one's leaving

G D

My dad said, Son, you finish school

Because this world can be so cruel

I said, You too and kept on dreaming

[Pre-Chorus 1]

G D

I am nothing like you, nothing like you

Em C

Why don't you know anything about me?

G D

I swear somehow, I'll make you proud

Em C

But why you wanna always go and doubt me

[Chorus 1]

G D Em

Story of my life in 1995

A million lonely nights, a million times I tried

To jump like Michael Jordan, but never quite as high

[Post-Chorus]

G D Em C

High, high

High

[Verse 2]

G D

When I was 19 I ran so far

They couldn`t catch me on the yard

I traveled unfamiliar places

G D

My dad said Son, just come back home

You won't survive out on your own

You're on a fast break running aimless

[Pre-Chorus 2]

G D

But I'm nothing like you, nothing like you

Em C

Why don't you believe I have the answers?

G D

I swear somehow I'll make you proud

But why can't you just let me take my chances now?

[Chorus 1]

G D

I'm 49, the game is mine

And every night is overtime

I beat the odds and I am still playing

My dad has passed has been long gone

I wish he'd met my teenage son

It`s been harder than I thought to raise him

{Pre-Chorus 3]

G D

I'm just like you, so much like you

Em C

Silent as he's jumping for a layup

G D

But I'm so proud of him, so proud

So I'll say it now
