[E] [C#m] [B] [A] [E]

Sunday [E]Shoes, Cap and [B]Gown
The [C#m]whole town gathered [A]around
Waited [E]18 years now its a[B]ll comin down to t[C#m]his.   [A]
I scanned the [E]crowd and it fills my [B]soul
My best [C#m]friends all here in [A]rows
No [E]turning back, Now its [B]time to walk that [C#m]line  [B]

This [A]tassel is gonna [B]turn
But when the [E]moment [B/D#]passes [C#m]by
Well just w[B]alk away
Then slowly [A]grow apart

But Im not g[E]onna cry, n[B]o [E]     [A]
Not one sad or [E]happy tear[B]  [E]     [A]
Ive waited m[E]y whole life [B]   [E]       [A]
Now Im gonna fly right o[E]utta here  [B]    [E]       [A]
[C#m]Its a bittersweet goodb[D]ye, [A]  but Im not gonna cr[E]y    [C#m]         [A]

Friday [E]night, football [B]games,
First [C#m]loves and first heart[A]breaks,
It didnt [E]matter who won or [B]lost,
Only how we [C#m]played, [A]
Memo[E]ries as good as [B]gold,
Tearin' [C#m]up those mountain [A]roads,
[E]racin' out [B]53, to old george[C#m]town, [B]

[A]sure we made a little [B]trouble,
but learned [E]from [B/D#]every mis[C#m]take,
so theres [B]no regret,
we've done the [A]best we could

so im not [E]gonna cry, [B]no[E]    [A]
not one sad or [E]happy tear [B]   [E]      [A]
ive waited [E]my whole life  [B]    [E]       [A]
now im gonna fly right [E]outta here [B]   [E]      [A]
[C#m]these have been the best years of my [D]life  [A]
so im not gonna [E]cry

[F#m]its been a long and winding[E] journey
[F#m]and we've lost a few along the [E]way
[F#m]still we've hung in there through the tribu[E]lations
now its time to [F#m]celebrate
[A]its our graduation day

so im not gonna [E]cry [B]   [E]      [A]
