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

[Verse 2]
        C#           Fm                  F#             D#m7
How can I try to explain? 'cause when I do he turns away again
     C#                A#m            D#m7   D
It's always been the same, same old story
          C#              Fm        F#             D#m7
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
               C#          A#m         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#                D#m7
It's not time to make a change, just sit down and take it slowly
       (Away,          away,             away
             C#                  A#m                D#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 ...)
             C#            G#            F#             D#m7
      Find a girl, settle down, if you want, you can marry
( ... this decision                   alone ...)
        C#        A#m           D#m    D#m D#m7 D
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
         (No ...)
 
[Verse 4]
        C#               Fm             F#                D#m7
All the times that I've cried, keeping all the things I knew inside
       (Stay,           stay,          stay
     C#              A#m          D#m      D#m D#m7 D
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
        (Why          must       you go    and make ...)
             C#           Fm             F#                   D#m7
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know, not me
( ... this decision                    alone ...)
              C#          A#m          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
