Verse 1:
           A
He works a nine to five
     E                              Ab
Then goes out with his friends on a Friday night
       Dbm
Then repeats it all again
         A
But he's doing fine
E                         Ab
Financially stable with a decent life
    Dbm
But deep inside

Pre-chorus:
            A
He's always wanted more
    E                  Ab
But too afraid to open up that door
     Dbm             A
He's 21 but he knows life is short
    E             Ab                 Dbm
And being poor is better than having regrets

Chorus:
A                                 E
So he takes all the money that he has
B                               Dbm
To try and live a dream that he had
A                                         E
All his friends start to think he's going mad
    B                                  (nc)
But he's all in and never looking back

Verse 2:
             A             E
She's living dime to dime, she works the whole week
          Ab            Dbm
Monday to Sunday night, hoping one day, oh
         A
That her kids will thrive
    E                   Ab                        Dbm
And never make the same mistakes that she made in life

Pre-chorus:
           A
She always wanted more
    E                        Ab
Her three kids held her down to floor
    Dbm                      A
Her husband left and now she knows for sure
       E                     Ab                     Dbm
Her decisions were poor, but she won't live with regrets

Chorus:
A                                   E
So she takes all the money that she has
B                                     Dbm
Hoping that she'll raise her children better than that
A                                      E
Oh, she can't live the dreams that she had
    B                                   (nc)
But she's all in and never looking back

Post-chorus:
    A5             (nc)             B5
And where she ends up, oh, we don't know
         (nc)           Ab5
Will she ever reach her goals
    (nc)                   Db5
And will he ever break the mold?
