Rhett & Link – The Graduation Song (Guitar)

    A                       C#m
For the past 18 years; your life's been pretty smooth;

     D                              A                 E
Let's take a moment and reflect on; all you've had to do.

    A                       C#m
You've rolled outta bed; and strolled to the living room

               D                                A             E
and watched Cartoon Network while your mom made waffles for you.

    A                       C#m
Your laundry; was magically cleaned.

     D                           A          E
And your dad's back pocket was an ATM machine. 

      A                               C#m
Your life's biggest worry; was what to wear to the prom.

      D                                 A              E
And your only regret was that incident - with the stinkbomb.

     D
But, do you hear that subtle sound?

       E (hold)
it's the sound of reality about to slap the taste out yo' mouth!

                     A
Now you're on your own

                 F#m
Don't screw this up.

                D
You're on your own.

         A
Good luck. (You're gonna need it.)

        A                             C#m
You're young and now you're free; the world is your oyster

        D                                           A                E
We have no clue what that means...but let us paint a picture of your future:

              A                                         C#m
You're gonna eat alotta Hot Pockets; and you're thinking "that sounds great!"

      D                             A               E   
well, get back to us in 6 months; when you've had 378.

         A                                 C#m
As soon as you move out; you know what you parents are gonna do?

          D                                      A                E
They're gonna turn your bedroom into an exercise room that they never use.

                     A                                         C#m
And you won't use lockers in college. And this might be a total bummer-

        D                                                A
There are no yearbooks either; you actually have to say-"have a great 

   E
summer."

    D
Do you hear that KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK?

     E (hold)
That's personal responsibility about to put you in a head lock

                 A
Now you're on your own

                   F#m
You should be scared.

              D
But we can tell

       A
You don't care. Why don't you care? You should be frightened right now.

  D
Do you sense that gentle breeze?

  E (hold)
it's the category-5 hurricane of adulthood about to HIT YOU UP SIDE THE HEAD WITH A TREE.

                     A
Now you're on your own

                   F#m
Don't screw this up.

                  D
You're on your own.

         A
Good luck. (You're gonna need it.)
