[Verse 1]
         C                G/B         F                Dm7
It's not time to make a change, just relax and take it easy
             C                   Am               Dm       Dm7       D
You're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to know
        C            G/B         F                Dm7
Find a girl, settle down, if you want to, you can marry
         C        Am          Dm   Dm Dm7 D
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
 
      C                  G          F                  Dm7
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy
       C                Am               Dm Dm Dm7 D
To be calm when you've found something going on
               C              G                F                  Dm7
But take your time, think a lot, why, think of everything you've got
             C                  Am             G        (C)
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not

[Verse 2]
        C           Em                  F             Dm7
How can I try to explain? 'cause when I do he turns away again
     C                Am            Dm7   D
It's always been the same, same old story
          C              Em        F             Dm7
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
               C          Am         G       G
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away
   G     F      (C)
I know I have to go
 
   C       F/G

[Verse 3]
         C              G                F                Dm7
It's not time to make a change, just sit down and take it slowly
       (Away,          away,             away
             C                  Am                Dm                  D
You're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to go through
                 (I                 know          I    have    to     make ...)
             C            G            F             Dm7
      Find a girl, settle down, if you want, you can marry
( ... this decision                   alone ...)
        C        Am           Dm    Dm Dm7 D
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
         (No ...)
 
[Verse 4]
        C               Em             F                Dm7
All the times that I've cried, keeping all the things I knew inside
       (Stay,           stay,          stay
     C              Am          Dm      Dm Dm7 D
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
        (Why          must       you go    and make ...)
             C           Em             F                   Dm7
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know, not me
( ... this decision                    alone ...)
              C          Am          G       C       C/D
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away
  G      F       G
I know I have to go
