*INTRO*

       A                     C#5
You're sitting here; in your cap and gown
         E5             D5
all your loved ones are just so proud.

    A                  C#5
And we would love to inspire you
    E5                     D5
but someone needs; to just give you the truth.


*VERSE*

    A                    C#5
For the past 18 years; your life's been pretty smooth;

       E5                           A         D5  (the rest is the same)
Let's take a moment and reflect on; all you've had to do.

You've rolled outta bed; and strolled to the living room
and watched Cartoon Network while your mom made waffles for you.

Your laundry; was magically cleaned.
And your dad's back pocket was an ATM machine.

Your life's biggest worry; was what to wear to the prom.
And your only regret was that incident - with the stinkbomb.

*PD  CHORUS*

E5
But, do you hear that subtle sound?
D5 HOLD
it's the sound of reality about to slap the taste out yo' mouth!

*CHORUS*
                     A
(Now) You're on your own
                 D5
Don't screw this up.
               E5
You're on your own.
          A
Good luck. (You're gonna need it.)
