Graduation Song

[D]Hoping for a new beginning
To take[B] me away from my surroundings
So I [G]can finally say [B]goodbye[A]
[D]Wondering what'll become of us
[B]When we are all old and gray
[G]And this time that we've spent together
Was well w[B]orth our w[A]ait
[D]Think of the fun that we had[B]

Not caring until the next morning
It f[G]eels so good to go through life
With your e[B]yes half o[A]pen

[D]We are all one an[B]d the same
[G]We are lovers, and brothers, and sisters
And m[B]ost of all frie[A]nds

[D]These years have passed us by so fast
It [B]seems like we never got the chance
To reali[G]ze how good life really was
And [B]let the moment l[A]ast
[D]And it feels like it was only yesterday
[B]When we walked into this place
[G]And said I can't wait till I g[B]et out of h[A]ere

[D]And now as we walk down this aisle [B]
With four years all rolled up in a scroll, you can't help but th[G]ink
Hey, W[B]here did the time [A]go

[D]We are all one an[B]d the same
[G]We are lovers, and brothers, and sisters
And [B]most of all fri[A]ends
[B]Hold on to your me[G]mories
[B]Hold on to those little th[G]ings
[B]And I hope you receive as mu[G]ch as you get
[D]Cause when you die they're the only thi[A]ngs
[D]That you can take to your [G]grave

[G]   [F#]   e
               These are the days of your life
[G]   [F#]   e
  e
               And don't let them pass you by

      [G]   [F#]   e
Cause you never know when you might take your last breath

And so take a deep one tonight

[D] [B] [G] [B] [A]

[D]Good friends we had along the way
[B]And good friends that didn't make it to where we stand today
[G]But we all know that they're l[B]ooking down on [A]us
[D]And even though their lives were cut shor[B]t
We still remember the little thing that made us [G]laugh about them
And do you remember when and where d[B]id you meet t[A]hem?

[D]We are all one and the sam[B]e
[G]We are lovers, and brothers, and sisters
And most[B] of all frie[A]nds
[B]Hold on to your me[G]mories
[B]Hold on to those li[G]ttle things
And I hope you receive as m[G]uch as you get
[D]Cause when you die they're the only thi[A]ngs
[D]That you can take to your g[G]rave

2x [D]-[B]-[G]-[B]-[A]

[D]And as we approach this final day
[B]Where we all will go our separate ways
[G]So go hug and kiss your friends
[B]And say g[A]oodbye to them[D]
