[Verse 1]
         A#                F/A         D#                Cm7
It's not time to make a change, just relax and take it easy
             A#                   Gm               Cm       Cm7       D
You're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to know
        A#            F/A         D#                Cm7
Find a girl, settle down, if you want to, you can marry
         A#        Gm          Cm   Cm Cm7 D
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
 
      A#                  F          D#                  Cm7
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy
       A#                Gm               Cm Cm Cm7 D
To be calm when you've found something going on
               A#              F                D#                  Cm7
But take your time, think a lot, why, think of everything you've got
             A#                  Gm             F        (A#)
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not

[Verse 2]
        A#           Dm                  D#             Cm7
How can I try to explain? 'cause when I do he turns away again
     A#                Gm            Cm7   D
It's always been the same, same old story
          A#              Dm        D#             Cm7
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
               A#          Gm         F       G
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away
   F     D#      (A#)
I know I have to go
 
   A#       D#/G

[Verse 3]
         A#              F                D#                Cm7
It's not time to make a change, just sit down and take it slowly
       (Away,          away,             away
             A#                  Gm                Cm                  D
You're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to go through
                 (I                 know          I    have    to     make ...)
             A#            F            D#             Cm7
      Find a girl, settle down, if you want, you can marry
( ... this decision                   alone ...)
        A#        Gm           Cm    Cm Cm7 D
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
         (No ...)
 
[Verse 4]
        A#               Dm             D#                Cm7
All the times that I've cried, keeping all the things I knew inside
       (Stay,           stay,          stay
     A#              Gm          Cm      Cm Cm7 D
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
        (Why          must       you go    and make ...)
             A#           Dm             D#                   Cm7
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know, not me
( ... this decision                    alone ...)
              A#          Gm          F       A#       A#/D
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away
  F      D#       G
I know I have to go
