Title: good riddance (time of your life)

**I wrote in the chords so it's easier for finger positions**

to make the song easier, don't try to pick each individual note, 
kinda strum along as well as a little picking here and there

lyrics

another turning point a fork stuck in the road 
time grabs you by the wrist directs you where to go
so make the best of this test and don't ask why
it's not a question but a lesson learned in time
it's something unpredictable but in the end it's right
i hope you had the time of your life
so take the photographs and stillframes in your mind
hang it on a shelf of good health and good time 
tatoos and memories and dead skin on trial
for what it's worth it was worth all the while
i hope you had the time of your life
