You're [A]sitting here; in your [C#5]cap and gown
all your [E5]loved ones are [D5]just so proud.

And [A]we would love to in[C#5]spire you
but [E5]someone needs; to just [D5]give you the truth.

[*VERSE*]

For [A]the past 18 years; yo[C#5]ur life's been pretty smooth;

E5 [A] [D5] (the rest is the same)
Let's take a moment and reflect on; all you've had to do.

You've rolled outta bed; and strolled to the living room
and watched Cartoon Network while your mom made waffles for you.

Your laundry; was magically cleaned.
And your dad's back pocket was an ATM machine.

Your life's biggest worry; was what to wear to the prom.
And your only regret was that incident - with the stinkbomb.

[*PRE CHORUS*]

[E5]But, do you hear that subtle sound?
[D5] HOLD
it's the sound of reality about to slap the taste out yo' mouth!

[*CHORUS*]
(Now) You're on your [A]own
Don't screw this [D5]up.
You're on your [E5]own.
Good luck.[A] (You're gonna need it.)

[*VERSE*]

You're young and now you're free; the world is your oyster
We have no clue what that means...but let us paint a picture of your future:

You're gonna eat alotta Hot Pockets; and you're thinking "that sounds great!"
well, get back to us in 6 months; when you're had 378.

As soon as you move out; you know what you parents are gonna do?
They're gonna turn your bedroom into an exercise room that they never use.

*HOLD [D5]*

And you won't use lockers in college. And this might be a total bummer-
There are no yearbooks either; you actually have to say-"have a great summer."

[*PRE CHORUS*]
Do you hear that KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK?
That's personal responsibility about to put you in a head lock

[*CHORUS*]
You're on your own
You should be scared.
But we can tell
You don't care. Why don't you care? You should be frightened right now.
[*PRE CHORUS*]
Do you sense that gentle breeze?
it's the category-5 hurricane of adulthood about to HIT YOU UP SIDE THE HEAD WITH A TREE.

[*CHORUS*]
You're on your own
Don't screw this up.
You're on your own.
Good luck. (You're gonna need it.)
