Am
Intro guitar (after piano)
G, Asus4, Am
G, Asus4, Am
(Verse 1)
G                     Asus4
So much fun is in a broken bottle
C
On the drive at night
G		        Asus4
So daddy froze froze froze on an old stool
Am
I'm cryin in the corner at 5
G
Well I've seen black
G**
And I've seen blue
Am
But fine lines I don't see
G		   	  Asus4
And just because I am in misery
C
It don't mean a thing
Am
That I wanna know
C     Asus4
That I wanna know
(Chorus)
G           Asus4       Am
Graduation Day,        Graduation Day
G              Asus4               Am
We take back everything we said about you
(Verse 2)
G              Asus4                C
September, as far as she remember, they don't teach humility
G                            Asus4
And just because her only signal is mayday
C
Don't it mean a thing
G                  G**             Am
That she's seen love and she's faired war but fairness she can't see
G                            Asus4
And just because she is in misery
C                              Am
Don't it mean a thing that she wants to know
C       Asus4
That she wants to know
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
(Bridge)
Asus4
But comradery's old
E
Doin' what I'm told
Asus4
And everybody knows
E
This is getting out of hand
Asus4
Everybody is dying for
E
The chance to be heard, not ignored
Asus4
And everybody knows
E
This is getting out of hand
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
(Outro)
G       Asus4
I'm not gonna
G       Asus4
I'm not gonna
G       Asus4     Am
I ain't goin' to school
G       Asus4
I'm not gonna
G       Asus4
I'm not gonna
G       Asus4     Am
I'm not goin' to school

	I think it's '& just because their only signal is mayday'. I think. But I don't know. I'm going to get this fucking CD!

No Picture Bun Wanna Be	#2 by Bun Nugz at Sep 28, 2007 at 1:39 AM EST
	okay well what i said earlier was wrong those lyrics are right... but I got the cd & there are a few mistakes: - "Daddy throws clothes, throws on an old stove" - That she's seen love & she's faired war but fairness she can't see." - "The camaraderie's old" & PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE change: - "Don't it mean a thing." DEFF. NOT It don't mean a thing.

No Picture Davis Wanna Be	#3 by Davis Williams at Sep 28, 2007 at 7:20 AM EST
	It took me so long to figure out that Gerard was singing back vocals...but I must say, I am pleased with the results! Love this song.

No Picture Kevin Wanna Be	#4 by Kevin at Sep 28, 2007 at 12:46 PM EST
	Oh & the CD jacket never says anything like "We take back everything too." It's still "We take back everything we said about you."

No Picture m Wanna Be	#5 by m t at Sep 28, 2007 at 2:55 PM EST

	Clasic, you didn't hear it right, he had it right.

No Picture The REAL Godfat Average	#8 by The REAL Godfather at Oct 1, 2007 at 2:08 AM EST
	And on "Comraderies old.. doing what I'm told.." doesn't he sound like he's using Claudio (Coheed)'s little vocal tricks? God this song is good. It's nice to hear them with a full band.

No Picture troy Average	#9 by troy worden at Oct 1, 2007 at 7:55 AM EST
	- That she's seen love & she's faired war but fairness she can't see." uh. thats wrong.. unless i have a bad song.. it goes "that shes faired love and shes seen war" idk about the cd cover but thats how it goes in the song.. the rest of your corrections are right though jinx

No Picture Josh Average	#10 by Josh at Oct 1, 2007 at 9:12 AM EST

	I'm not. I've heard this song tune before. Its exactly like another song. Have they said anything about copying another song.

No Picture Bobby Rhythm Player	#14 by Bobby McCorkle at Oct 1, 2007 at 11:57 PM EST
	yeah austin - i've always thought the two sounded a little alike but they do especially in that part of the song. i definitely think it's "true"

No Picture CJ Wanna Be	#15 by CJ West at Oct 2, 2007 at 7:35 AM EST
	You could always just go to www.purevolume.com/headautomatica and listen (but not download) the album there. They've got the whole thing posted. Graduation Day, Graduation Day We take back everything we said too... It sounds like "true" to me. Unless he's slurring the lyrics on purpose.

No Picture jon Wanna Be	#16 by jon a at Oct 2, 2007 at 10:46 AM EST
	This song is really good, but some of the lyrics are wrong

No Picture Helena Average	#17 by Helena at Oct 3, 2007 at 7:31 AM EST
	i think graduating from high school is a lot different from graduating from middle school hahaha.. a lot. When I graduated from high school it was kind of like a big fuck you to all the people who are immature and rude and dramatic. "Everybody knows this is getting out of hand." Graduation is like leaving behind all that high school drama bullshit that totally consumed everyday life. It just doesn't matter anymore. . . & it feels good. "Don't it mean a thing."

No Picture Zeke Average	#18 by Zeke at Oct 3, 2007 at 12:48 PM EST
	hey guys.. whoever wants the whole album .. go to this link .. http://download.yousendit.com/44FD92830B8A17BA

No Picture matt Badass	#19 by matt sears, Just Like The Store at Oct 3, 2007 at 8:53 PM EST
	i agree with fivergirl.i think the song talks about how maybe on graduation day,things can make things and people change.like when i graduated from middle school in june,my eniemes became my friends.the teachers that hated me said they miss me.maybe its just about how that its the day when you get your last goodbye for somebody and that maybe taking back the things people said about you is the best thing to do.if anybody agrees with my meaning,then comment!

No Picture Luke Professional	#20 by Luke Goudreault at Oct 4, 2007 at 4:25 AM EST
	how did you get the full song?

No Picture Jesus Average	#21 by Jesus Christ at Oct 4, 2007 at 12:29 PM EST
	actualy you're right clasic, it says it like that in the song but its different in the cd jacket.. & uh musicman.. thank you.. but dude, i'm a girl.

No Picture sean Average	#22 by sean at Oct 5, 2007 at 7:09 AM EST
	The harmonies on the chorus are AMAZING. Who sings the high part? Daryl?! Jesus!

No Picture Neal Average	#23 by Neal Breen at Oct 5, 2007 at 9:14 AM EST
	any meanings? I think it's just about graduating a part of your life. I don't know if it's directly meant to be a high school or anything, but I think it just means like breaking free and moivng in to a new stage of your life.. and that we all have the ability to change.

	This may not be 100% correct, I did it by ear, but it's right for the most part
