_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ One, [C#m] maybe [D] two, three, four, five
Years ago till [Bm] today surrounded by many
[G] But many nights spent all [B] alone
I know [D] that it sounds like complaining
[G] You can trust me, I do it all the [Bm] time
You [D] can run just as fast as [G] you want to
But you're stuck with yourself all the [Bm] time
I [D] can run as fast as [G] I want to
But I'm stuck inside my [Bm] mind
So [D] I do with it what I [G] may, what I might not
_ [Bm] I'm [D] getting kinda tired, [G] television man
Don't tell me [D] who to love, [G] don't tell me who to hate
[Bm] I'd [D] rather live my life [G] blind, not see a thing at [Bm] all
[D] This color, [G] it confused me all the time
[Bm] That's why in my [Dm] dream I live it mighty [G] good
I'm a prince, I'm a king, I'm a [Bm] warrior
And I'm [D] doing things right, [G] _
all the time
[Bm] Till this one night I found [D] an old man
[G] Sitting on a big black rock
[Bm] Got a beard grown down [D] to his knees
[G] Wisdom he spoke, knowledge he [Bm] breathed
[D] _ _ [G] _ _
_ [Bm] I asked him what's your [D] name
He said I'm [G] old man time
[Bm] _ [D] And my son, [G] I've been waiting for you so long
Well [Bm] I can see you're in [D] pain
And [G] I know that there's something wrong
I [Bm] know that you have been [D] angry
[G] Know that you've seen hate
But you gotta [D] dig deep to the living [G] above
Sit, learn and create
You gotta lose all your [D] anger, lose all your [G] hate
It ain't [D] gonna work no more
I wish [Bm] the world was run by [D] love
[G] Absolutely nothing more
[Bm] I _ _ [G] got rid of my hate
[Bm] And now I'm just chilling [D] on a big black rock
[G] For the rest of my life
This is where I'll stay
[D] _
[G] We all have a black rock [Bm] in our [D] mind _
_ When I go there, [Bm] _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ it's a black [Bm] rock _ _ _
