The Graduation Song or Eyes Half Open
Capo 1
|Verse 1|
D
Hoping for a new beginning
Bm
To take me away from my surroundings
G Bm A
So I can finally say goodbye
D
Wondering what'll become of us
Bm
When we are all old and gray
G
And this time that we've spent together
Bm A
Was well worth our wait
D
Think of the fun that we had
Bm
Not caring until the next morning
G
It feels so good to go through life
Bm A
With your eyes half open
|Chorus|
D Bm
We are all one and the same
G
We are lovers, and brothers, and sisters
Bm A
And most of all friends
|Verse 2|
D
These years have passed us by so fast
Bm
It seems like we never got the chance
G
To realize how good life really was
Bm A
And let the moment last
D
And it feels like it was only yesterday
Bm
When we walked into this place
G Bm A
And said I can't wait till I get out of here
D
And now as we walk down this aisle
Bm G
With four years all rolled up in a scroll, you can't help but think
Bm A
Hey, Where did the time go
|Chorus|
D Bm
We are all one and the same
G
We are lovers, and brothers, and sisters
Bm A
And most of all friends
Bm G
Hold on to your memories
Bm 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
|Bridge|
G F# E
These are the days of your life
G F# 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—Bm—G—Bm—A
|Verse 3|
D
Good friends we had along the way
Bm
And good friends that didn't make it to where we stand today
G Bm A
But we all know that they're looking down on us
D Bm
And even though their lives were cut short
G
We still remember the little thing that made us laugh about them
Bm A
And do you remember when and where did you meet them?
D Bm
We are all one and the same
G
We are lovers, and brothers, and sisters
Bm A
And most of all friends
Bm G
Hold on to your memories
Bm G
Hold on to those little things
Bm G
And I hope you receive as much as you get
D A
Cause when you die they're the only things
D D
That you can take to your grave
D—Bm—G—Bm—A x2
|Outro|
D
And as we approach this final day
Bm
Where we all will go our separate ways
G
So go hug and kiss your friends
Bm A D
And say goodbye to them
