Intro:
G Bm Em C (2x)


Verse 1:
G           D
I was 14 and losing ground
           Em
In a black top of a town
                 C
Where no one wins and no one's 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               C
But why you wanna always go and doubt me


Chorus 1:
G      D    Em
Story of my life in 1995
       C          G
A hero in Chicago, a 🏷Legend in my mind
G          D           Em
A million lonely nights, a 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
                C
You're on a fast break running aimless?


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


Chorus 1:
G       D   Em
Story of my life in 1995
      C           G
A hero in Chicago, a 🏷Legend in my mind
          D            Em
A million lonely nights, a million 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
                C
I beat the odds and I a?m still playing
G                D
My dad has passed ha?s been long gone
              Em
I wish he'd met my teenage son
                  C
It'?s been harder than I thought to 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                       C
But just like you I a?m still too scared to say it
 N.C.
So I'll say it now

To jump like Michael Jordan
