D G Bm A
please stand by , we’ve come so far
D G Bm A
these years we’ve survived the ride that turned us inside out
D G Bm A
repeat after me , just scream and shout
D G Bm A
it was the best of times from broken homes and battle scars
G
to where we are

D G Bm
graduate , paper chase , we’ll get out of this place
A D G
don’t turn around , hit the highway
Bm A
pour some liquor out for this town
A G A D G
now that’s all for us , it’s last call to go

D G Bm A
roll it out , it’s over now
D G Bm A
we’re the cast outs with messed up friends who never did fit in
D G Bm A
don’t care where it ends , doesn’t matter now
D G Bm A
long as we’re as one we’ll take the next bus destination
G
setting sun

D G Bm
graduate , paper chase , we’ll get out of this place

now that’s all for us , it’s last call to go
