Juan Gutierrez
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
