[Intro]
G D Em D
[Verse 1]
G D
Dear Mr President, come take a walk with me
Em D
Lets pretend,
G D
we're just two people and, you're not better than me,
D D
I'd like to, ask you some questions if we can speak honestly.
| C Am | G D |
What do you feel when you see the homeless on the street?
| C Am | G D |
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
| C Am | Em D |
What do you feel when you look in the mirror? Are you proud?
Cadd9
[Chorus]
| G D | Am C |
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
| G D | Am C |
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
| | G D | C |
How do you walk with your head held high
| Em D | Cadd9 |
Can you even look me in the eye? And tell me why
[Instrumental]
G D D D
[Verse 2]
G D
Dear Mr president, were you a lonley boy, Were you a lonley boy?
Em D
are you a lonley boy, are you a lonley boy? How can you say,
G D
no child is left behind we're not dumb, and we're not blind
Em D
They're all sitting in your cells while you pave the road to hell
| C Am | G D |
What kind of father might take his own daughter right away?
| C Am | G D |
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?
| C Am | G D |
I can only imagine what the first lady has to say you've come a long
| Em A |
way, from whiskey and cocaine
[Chorus]
| G D | Am C |
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?
| G D | Am C |
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?
| G D | C |
How do you walk with your head held high
| Em D
Can you even look me in the eye?
[Bridge]
| Cadd9 |
Let me tell you 'bot hard work
| Em G |
minimum wage
| Am G |
with a baby on the way Let me tell you 'bot hard work
| Em G |
Rebuilding your house
| Am C |
after the bombs took them away Let me tell you 'bout hard work
| Em G |
building a bed
| Am C |
out of a cardboard box Let me tell you 'bout hard work
| Em G |
hard work, hard work
| Am C |
You don't know nothing 'bout hard work
| Em G | Am C |
hard work, hard work
[Outro]
G D
How do you sleep at night?
G D G
How do you walk, with your head held high
D D
Dear Mr president you'd never take a walk with me ummm, would you.
