We were in a

park, I could jump so far, Seems like 

Em7                   Dmaj7 
all I'd ever done, Was smoking pot out in the car, And a 
  
Em7           Dmaj7                      Cmaj7    D/C    Cmaj7 
figure faded in, From the departees of my old school. He says 
  
Em7                       Dmaj7             
"Ben, We both know you're asleep, I've been 

Em7                  Dmaj7 
running through these fields, It's such a lovely place you dream, Is it 
  
Em7                         Dmaj7                      Cmaj7   D/C       Cmaj7 
your imagination? It's been years since I've been on my feet." Now it's  


Gmaj9   Dmaj9                      Gmaj9    
Rocky's day, Send his soul on it's way, 

Em7       Dmaj7    F#7sus4    F#7 
The sun won't be coming out, Yeah it's 
  
Gmaj9   Dmaj9                      Gmaj9    
Rocky's day, And it's time he went way,

The sun won't be coming out today.

I recall, But I don't know who told me 

Em7                       Dmaj7 
Rocky was a runner, Won a medal back in school, Now at 
  
Em7                          Dmaj7            Cmaj7   D/C   Cmaj7 
Christmas momma says "You go up and be Rockys room", As we 

Em7                        Dmaj7                             
watched the sun go down he thanks me for my dreams, 

Em7                          Dmaj7 
He said "I know you think you are but you're not completely free 

Em7                             Dmaj7                   Cmaj7    D/C   Cmaj7 
The man who's seen a spectre of departure is completely free." Now it's  

Gmaj9   Dmaj9                     Gmaj9

Em7       Dmaj7        Em7             Dmaj7 
Em7       Dmaj7        Cmaj7 

Then he  

Em7                 Dmaj7                       
smiled, And he turned and walked away, 

        Em7                         Dmaj7 
He said over his shoulder, "I'll be gone when you're awake"
