Rocky
Written by Ben Folds
A9
We were in a
Em7park, I could Dmaj7jump so far, Seems like
Em7all I'd ever done, Was Dmaj7smoking pot out in the car, And a
Em7figure faded iDmaj7n, From the departees of my Cmaj7old schoD/Col. He Cmaj7says
Em7"Ben, We both know you're Dmaj7asleep, I've been
Em7running through these Dmaj7fields, It's such a lovely place you dream, Is it
Em7your imagination? It's been Dmaj7years since I've been on my Cmaj7feet." D/CNow it's Cmaj7  
Gmaj9Rocky's Dmaj9day, Send his soul on it's Gmaj9way,
Em7The sun woDmaj7n't be coF#7sus4ming out, YF#7eah it's
Gmaj9Rocky's Dmaj9day, And it's time he went Gmaj9way,
Em7The sun woDmaj7n't be coF#7sus4ming out toF#7day.

Em7watched the sun go down he Dmaj7thanks me for my dreams,
