You graduate one day       /     moving on / and leaving everything behind

 

G                                          D   E E C A

That’s what you had in mind/

 

D                  E      E   C A     D                    E         E                  C  B  A

Much too good to last /            can’t be a student forever making all that noise

Like all the girls and boys

Then again it’s just as well / it goes to show you never can tell

Next time we meet I’ll be standing at your shoulder

 

G                          F    C    D       

Looking like a long lost friend

I’ll do my best / to make you see

And as it marches on /              I come to think / I really know what’s going on

Although I could be wrong


(chorus)

C#                                 F#      B                                B     A    G

But then again it’s just as well / it goes to show you never can tell

Next time we meet I’ll be standing at your shoulder

 

G                          F    C    D
