I had the highest expectations that you would persevere and make it through I know it's not an easy thing to do (chorus:) but your 8th grade graduation is a day that you'll remember for the rest of the night You could have gone out in a blaze of gunfire You could have shown that girl from Beaverdale just exactly what you thought of her new phone You could have taken on the world alone (chorus) You could have shown that you're above it all You could have gone out with that boy from North Central High You could have smiled as they whispered "What's she doing with that older guy?" (chorus) Just four more years and four more more before you get to choose exactly how you'll start paying off your student loans When life closes a window it opens up a door Or maybe high school is just another window opening up on the second floor You met the highest expectations You persevered and you made it through Everyone knows it's not an easy thing to do (chorus) Chords: E, A, Ab, db, and B
