A augmentedA            C# minorC#m
For the past 18 years; your life's been pretty smooth;
   D MajorD               A augmentedA         E MajorE
Let's take a moment and reflect on; all you've had to do.


  A augmentedA            C# minorC#m
You've rolled outta bed; and strolled to the living room
        D MajorD                A augmentedA       E MajorE
and watched Cartoon Network while your mom made waffles for you.


  A augmentedA            C# minorC#m
Your laundry; was magically cleaned.
   D MajorD              A augmentedA     E MajorE
And your dad's back pocket was an ATM machine.

   A augmentedA                C# minorC#m
Your life's biggest worry; was what to wear to the prom.
   D MajorD                 A augmentedA       E MajorE
And your only regret was that incident - with the stinkbomb.


   D MajorD
But, do you hear that subtle sound?
    E MajorE (hold)
it's the sound of reality about to slap the taste out yo' mouth!


           A augmentedA
Now you're on your own
         F# minorF#m
Don't screw this up.
        D MajorD
You're on your own.
     A augmentedA
Good luck. (You're gonna need it.)


    A augmentedA               C# minorC#m
You're young and now you're free; the world is your oyster
    D MajorD                      A augmentedA        E MajorE
We have no clue what that means...but let us paint a picture of your future:


       A augmentedA                     C# minorC#m
You're gonna eat alotta Hot Pockets; and you're thinking "that sounds great!"
   D MajorD               A augmentedA        E MajorE
well, get back to us in 6 months; when you've had 378.

     A augmentedA                 C# minorC#m
As soon as you move out; you know what you parents are gonna do?
     D MajorD                   A augmentedA        E MajorE
They're gonna turn your bedroom into an exercise room that they never use.

           A augmentedA                     C# minorC#m
And you won't use lockers in college. And this might be a total bummer-
    D MajorD                        A augmentedA
There are no yearbooks either; you actually have to say-"have a great
  E MajorE
summer."

  D MajorD
Do you hear that KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK?
   E MajorE (hold)
That's personal responsibility about to put you in a head lock

         A augmentedA
Now you're on your own
          F# minorF#m
You should be scared.
       D MajorD
But we can tell
    A augmentedA
You don't care. Why don't you care? You should be frightened right now.


 D MajorD
Do you sense that gentle breeze?
 E MajorE (hold)
it's the category-5 hurricane of adulthood about to HIT YOU UP SIDE THE HEAD WITH A augmentedA TREE.


           A augmentedA
Now you're on your own
          F# minorF#m
Don't screw this up.
         D MajorD
You're on your own.
     A augmentedA
