[Verse 1]
G D Em D
Dear Mr President, come take a walk with me
G D
Let's pretend, we're just two people and, you're not better than me,
Em D
I'd like to, ask you some questions if we can, speak honestly.
[Pre-Chorus]
C Am7 G D
What do you feel when you see the homeless on the street?
C Am7 G D
Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?
C Am7 Em D
What do you feel when you look in the mirror?
C C
Are you proud?
[Chorus]
G D Am (Am/B) 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 Am (Am/B) C
How do you walk with your head held high?
Em D C
Can you even look me in the eye?
G
And tell me why
[Instrumental]
(G) D Em D
[Verse 2]
G D
Dear Mr President, were you a lonely boy
Em D
Were you a lonely boy?
G D
How can you say, no child is left behind
Em
We're not dumb, and we're not blind
D
They're all sitting in your cells
while you pave the road to hell
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C Am7 G D
What kind of father might take his own daughter's rights away?
C Am7 G D
And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?

I can only imagine what the first lady has to say
Em A
You've come a long way, from whiskey and cocaine
[Chorus]
G D Am (Am/B) C
How do you sleep while the rest of us cry?

How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye?

How do you walk with your head held high?
Em D C
Can you even look me in the eye?

Let me tell you 'bout hard work

Let me tell you 'bout hard work

Re-building your house after the bombs took them away

Building a bed out of a cardboard box
Em G Am Am/B C
Let me tell you 'bout hard work, hard work, hard work

You don't know nothing 'bout hard work, hard work

Hard work!

How do you sleep at night?
Em G Am C G
How do you walk, with your head held high

Dear Mr President you'd never take a walk with me
ummm, would you.
