Ladies and gentlemen of the class of 99.
Wear sunscreen.
If I could offer you only one tip for the future,
sunscreen would be it.
The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists,
whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.
I will dispense this advice now.
Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth.
Never mind.
You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they've faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at photos of yourself
and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you
and how fabulous you really looked.
You are not as fat as you [D#] imagine.
Don't worry about the future.
Or worry, but know that [F#m] worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum.
The real troubles in your life [E] are apt to be things that never crossed your wild mind,
the kind that blindsides you at 4 p.m. on some idle Tuesday.
[Bm] Do one thing every [F#] day that scares you.
Sing.
Don't be reckless [G] with other people's hearts.
Don't put up [G#m] with people who are reckless with yours.
[F#]
Floss.
[Em] Don't waste your time on [Bm] jealousy.
Sometimes you're ahead.
[E] Sometimes you're behind.
The race is long.
And in the end, it's only with yourself.
[E] [Bm] [B] Remember compliments you receive.
[E] Forget the insults.
If you succeed [F#m] in doing this, tell me how.
Keep your old [Bm] love letters.
Throw away your old bank statements.
[E] Stretch.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to [C#m] do with your life.
The most interesting [D] people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to [C#] do with their lives.
Some of the most interesting [A] 40-year-olds I know still don't.
[G#m] Get plenty of counsel.
[F#] Be kind to your needs.
[E] You'll miss them when they're gone.
[C#m] Maybe you'll marry.
Maybe you won't.
[E] Maybe you'll have children.
Maybe you won't.
[D] Maybe you'll divorce at 40.
Maybe you'll dance the funky [F#m] chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary.
Whatever you do, [E] don't congratulate yourself too much.
Or [D] berate yourself either.
Your choices are half [E] chance.
So are everybody [Bm] else's.
Enjoy your body.
[C#m] Use it every way you can.
[D] Don't be afraid of it or what other people think of it.

[D] Read the directions, even if you don't follow them.

[F#m] Understand that friends come and [C#m] go.
With a precious few, [A] you should hold on.
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle.
The [C#m] older you get, the more you need the people who knew when you were young.
Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you [F#m] hard.
Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft.
[C#m] Travel.
[E] Accept certain [D] inalienable truths.
Prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too [F#m] will get old.
And when you do, you'll [E] fantasize that when you were young,
[D] prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, [E] and children respected [Bm] their elders.
Respect your [C#m] elders.
Don't expect anyone [D] else to support you.

[F#m] But you never know when either one [E] might run out.
Don't mess too much with [D] your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will [E] look 85.
Be
[F#m] careful whose advice you buy, [C#m] but be patient with those who [D] supply it.
Advice is a form of [F#m] nostalgia.

painting over the [E] ugly parts, [A] and recycling it for [E] more than it's worth.
[A] But trust me, [D#] I'm the sunscreen.
