Gsus2
     Dear Mister President,
D/F#
    come take a walk with me
D5/E
D/F#             Gsus2                         D/F#
    Let's pretend     we're just two people and    you're
not better than me
           D5/E                                D/F#
I'd like to    ask you some questions if we can    speak
honestly

[Pre-Chorus]
C                Am                         G
 What do you feel  when you see all the homeless on the
       D/F#
street?
C               Am                   G                D/F#
 Who do you pray  for at night before you go to sleep?
C                Am                       Em   Dadd11
 What do you feel  when you look in the mirror?
              Cadd9
Are you proud?

[Chorus]
                G              D/F#          Am C
How do you sleep while the rest    of us cry?
       D/F#     G         D/F#        Am
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say
        C
goodbye?
               G              D/F#          Cadd9
How do you walk with your head    held high?
                 Em   Dadd11       Cadd9
Can you even look  me in    the eye
And tell me why?

     Dear Mister President,
D/F#                                             Em
    were you a lonely boy? Were you a lonely boy?
                                           D/F#
Are you a lonely boy? Are you a lonely boy?
How can you say,
G
 "No child is left behind"?
D/F#                                                  Em
    We're not dumb and we're not blind we're not blind
They're all sitting in your cells
D/F#
    While you pave the road to hell

[Pre-Chorus]
C               Am                           G
 What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights
     D/F#
away?
C                   Am                           G
 And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she
         D/F#
were gay?
C              Am                    G            D/F#
 I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
                  Em                       A7
You've come a long  way from whiskey and cocaine

[Chorus]
                G              D/F#          Am C
How do you sleep while the rest    of us cry?
       D/F#     G         D/F#        Am
How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say
        C
goodbye?
               G              D/F#          Cadd9
How do you walk with your head    held high?
                 Em   Dadd11        C
Can you even look  me in    the eye?
                          Em    D/F# G
Let me tell you 'bout hard  work

[Bridge]
            Am                      C
Minimum wage  with a baby on the way
                          Em    D/F# G
Let me tell you 'bout hard  work
                     Am                              C
Rebuilding your house  after the bombs took them away
                          Em    D/F# G
Let me tell you 'bout hard  work
              Am                      C
Building a bed  out of a cardboard box
                          Em    D/F#    G
Let me tell you 'bout hard  work    Hard
work
    Am    C
Hard  work
                                 Em    D/F#    G
You don't know nothing 'bout hard  work    Hard
work
     Am  C
Hard work

[Outro]
Gsus2             D/F#
How  do you sleep at  night?
D5/E            D/F#                Gsus2
How do you walk with your head held high?
Dear Mister President
D/F#                               D5/E D/F#
    You'd never take a walk with me
Would you?
