Intro
[Am] [F] [C]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Am] [F] [C]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Verse 1
[Am] [F]
She was walking in the street, looked up and noticed
[G] [G/B]
He was nameless, he was homeless
[Am] [F]
She asked him his name and told him what hers was
[G]
He gave her a story 'bout life
[Am] [F]
With a glint in his eye and a corner of a smile
[G] [C] [G/B]
One conversation, a simple moment
[Am] [F]
The things that change us if we notice
[G]
When we look up sometimes
Pre-Chorus
[Am] [F]
They said I would never make it
[G] [C] [G/B]
But I was built to break the mold
[Am] [F] [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
[G] [C] [G/B]
Single mothers waiting on a check to come
[Am] [F]
Young teachers, student doctors
[G] [C] [G/B]
Sons on the front line knowing they don't get to run
[Am] [F]
This goes out to the Underdog
[G] [C] [G/B]
Keep on keeping at what you love
[Am] [F]
You'll find that someday soon enough
[G]
You will rise up, rise up, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
[Am] [F] [G] [C] [G/B]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Am] [F] [G] [C] [G/B]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Verse 2
[Am] [F]
She's riding in a taxi back to the kitchen
[G] [G/B]
Talking to the driver 'bout his wife and his children
[Am] [F]
On the run from a country where they put you in prison
[G]
For being a woman and speaking your mind
[Am] [F]
She looked in his eyes in the mirror and he smiled
[G] [C] [G/B]
One conversation, a single moment
[Am] [F]
The things that change us if we notice
[G]
When we look up sometimes
Pre-Chorus
[Am] [F]
They said I would never make it
[G] [C] [G/B]
But I was built to break the mold
