Verse 1:

Em              C                              G
Driving slowly, watching the headlights in the rain
                 D
Funny how things change.
Em                       C                           G
Think of the good times, wishing you were still with me

Em                       C                            G
Watching the stars fall, million dreams have all gone bad
                D
Think of all we had.
Em                  C                          G
I knew it all then, thought you loved me I was wrong
          D   Em              D      Em
Life goes on. Graduation day, ohhhhh graduation day.

Chrous:
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.

Graduation day, ohhhh, graduation day.

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.

The best way to describe this song is the way my girlfriend put it. "It
sounds like an evil Beach Boys song." True the song is kind of depressing but
it sounds too cool. Once again it's a pretty easy song to get once you get
the strumming patterns down flat. So have fun with it, sweep some beautiful
girl off her feet with it it, cause it's Chris Isaak 95.....Dig it!
