Verse I
G She was thirty- Dm -four and C workin' in a G diner
Am Thought she'd left all her hopes and C dreams be- D -hind her
G Waitin' tables in Dm BFE C ain't no kinda G life
A re- Am -flection in a window, D starin' at a traffic light G C
When she gets home she D sings in the mirror
And the C angels stop singin' so D they can hear her
Chorus:
G Don't let no- Em -body tell ya Am this can't be D done
G Don't let no- Em -body make ya Am walk when ya wanna D run
G Don't let nobody Em change your direction, stay the Am course and keep the D faith
G Don't let nobody Em get satisfaction from Am watchin' ya fall on your D face G C
Any dream worth havin' is a D dream worth believin'
Look in- G -side yourself for what the C dream weaver’s D weavin’
Em One step at a Am time D keep your head held G high D C D Don’t’cha look back
and don’t’cha C never G/B ever D ever say G die

G He was swingin' a Dm hammer
C In the mid-day G sun
The Am lines in his face spoke of C all the work he's D done
At G home there's a Dm boy C with a ball and G glove
And a Am woman who wants nothin' D more than his love G C
He'll find a better way as he D swallows his pride
Won't take C no for an answer, D he won't be denied
Repeat Chorus
