Artist - Dave Matthews Band
Song - The Graduation Song

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

Not caring until the next morning
    G
It feels so good to go through life
           B         A
With your eyes half open

-------------------------------------------------------

D                B
We are all one and the same
G
We are lovers, and brothers, and sisters
     B              A
And most of all friends

-----------------------------------------------------
D
These years have passed us by so fast
   B
It seems like we never got the chance
        G
To realize how good life really was
    B               A
And let the moment last
D
And it feels like it was only yesterday
B
When we walked into this place
G                             B          A
And said I can't wait till I get out of here

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

-----------------------------------------------------------

D                B
We are all one and the same
G
We are lovers, and brothers, and sisters
    B              A
And most of all friends
B                 G
Hold on to your memories
B                         G
Hold on to those little things
B                           G
And I hope you receive as much as you get
D                                      A
Cause when you die they're the only things
D                         G
That you can take to your grave

--------------------------------------------------------------

G   F#   e#
               These are the days of your life
G   F#   e#                                    G   
  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                             B              A
But we all know that they're looking down on us
D                                        B
And even though their lives were cut short
                                                G
We still remember the little thing that made us laugh about them
                                    B            A
And do you remember when and where did you meet them?

----------------------------------------------------------------
D                         B
We are all one and the same
G
We are lovers, and brothers, and sisters
        B           A
And most of all friends
B                 G
Hold on to your memories
B                  G
Hold on to those little things
                           G
And I hope you receive as much as you get
D                                      A
Cause when you die they're the only things
D                          G
That you can take to your grave

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        A             D
And say goodbye to them
