[Verse 1]
         B                F#/A#         E                C#m7
It's not time to make a change, just relax and take it easy
             B                   G#m               C#m       C#m7       D
You're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to know
        B            F#/A#         E                C#m7
Find a girl, settle down, if you want to, you can marry
         B        G#m          C#m   C#m C#m7 D
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
 
      B                  F#          E                  C#m7
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy
       B                G#m               C#m C#m C#m7 D
To be calm when you've found something going on
               B              F#                E                  C#m7
But take your time, think a lot, why, think of everything you've got
             B                  G#m             F#        (B)
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not

[Verse 2]
        B           D#m                  E             C#m7
How can I try to explain? 'cause when I do he turns away again
     B                G#m            C#m7   D
It's always been the same, same old story
          B              D#m        E             C#m7
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
               B          G#m         F#       G
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away
   F#     E      (B)
I know I have to go

[Verse 3]
         B              F#                E                C#m7
It's not time to make a change, just sit down and take it slowly
       (Away,          away,             away
             B                  G#m                C#m                  D
You're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to go through
                 (I                 know          I    have    to     make ...)
             B            F#            E             C#m7
      Find a girl, settle down, if you want, you can marry
( ... this decision                   alone ...)
        B        G#m           C#m    C#m C#m7 D
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
         (No ...)
 
[Verse 4]
        B               D#m             E                C#m7
All the times that I've cried, keeping all the things I knew inside
       (Stay,           stay,          stay
     B              G#m          C#m      C#m C#m7 D
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
        (Why          must       you go    and make ...)
             B           D#m             E                   C#m7
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know, not me
( ... this decision                    alone ...)
              B          G#m          F#       B       B/D
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away
  F#      E       G
I know I have to go
