Intro: A9
We were in a
Em7 Dmaj7
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

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
