Michael Jordan

G Bm Em C  (2x)


[Verse 1]
G                      D
I was 14 and losing ground
                     Em
In a black top of a town
Where no one wins and no one's 
  C
leaving
G                             D
My dad said, Son, you finish school
                              Em
Because this world can be so cruel
                             C
I said, €You too€ and kept on 
dreaming


[Pre-Chorus 1]
G                      D
I am nothing like you, nothing like 
you
Em                          C
Why don't you know anything about 
me?
G                      D
I swear somehow, I'll make you proud
Em                            
But why you wanna always go and 
  C
doubt me


[Chorus 1]
G            D        Em
Story of my life in 1995
             C                    
A hero in Chicago, a legend in my 
G
mind
G                    D           
A million lonely nights, a 
          Em
million times I tried
                       C
To jump like Michael Jordan, but 
never quite as high


[Post-Chorus]
G D Em C

High, high

High

[Verse 2]
G                       D
When I was 19 I ran so far
                             Em
They couldn`t catch me on the yard
                      C
I traveled unfamiliar places
G                               D
My dad said €Son, just come back 
home
                               Em
You won't survive out on your own
You're on a fast break running 
 C
aimless€


[Pre-Chorus 2]
G                         D
But I'm nothing like you, nothing 
like you
Em                               
Why don't you believe I have the 
C
answers?
G                     D
I swear somehow I'll make you proud
Em                                
But why can't you just let me take
      C
 my chances now?


[Chorus 1]
G             D      Em
Story of my life in 1995
           C                      
A hero in Chicago, a legend in my 
G
mind
                   D               
A million lonely nights, a million 
         Em
times I tried
                     C
To jump like Michael Jordan, but 
never quite as high


[Bridge]
G                   D
I'm 49, the game is mine
                    Em
And every night is overtime
I beat the odds and I a€m still 
C
playing
G                               D
My dad has passed ha€s been long 
gone
                            Em
I wish he'd met my teenage son
It`€s been harder than I thought to 
C
raise him


{Pre-Chorus 3]
G                     D
I'm just like you, so much like you
Em                            C
Silent as he's jumping for a layup
G                        D
But I'm so proud of him, so proud
Em                                
But just like you I a€m still too 
             C
scared to say it
 N.C.
So I'll say it now
