Em             C                                G
Driving slowly, watching the headlights in the rain.
                   D
Funny how things change.
Em
Think of the good times,
C                            G
wishing you were still with me.
                    D       Em
The way it used to be, graduation day.

Watching the stars fall,
a million dreams have all gone bad
Think of all we had
I knew all then, thought you loved me I was wrong
Life goes on, graduation day, oh, graduation day

C                       G
Thinking of a time when everything was right.
D                       Am
Thinking of a time with only you and I.
G                       D
Makes me sorry that it had to end that way.
Am
Learned my lesson now there's nothing left to say,
     Em        D        Em
graduation day, oh graduation day.

Thinking of a time when everything was right
Thinking of a time with only you and I
Makes me sorry that it had to end that way
Learned my lesson now there's nothing left to say,
graduation day,

Oh graduation day
Oh graduation day
