[Verse 1]
         D                A/C#         G                Em7
It's not time to make a change, just relax and take it easy
             D                   Bm               Em       Em7       D
You're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to know
        D            A/C#         G                Em7
Find a girl, settle down, if you want to, you can marry
         D        Bm          Em   Em Em7 D
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
 
      D                  A          G                  Em7
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy
       D                Bm               Em Em Em7 D
To be calm when you've found something going on
               D              A                G                  Em7
But take your time, think a lot, why, think of everything you've got
             D                  Bm             A        (D)
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not
 
   D       G/D                D       G/G

[Verse 2]
        D           F#m                  G             Em7
How can I try to explain? 'cause when I do he turns away again
     D                Bm            Em7   D
It's always been the same, same old story
          D              F#m        G             Em7
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
               D          Bm         A       G
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away
   A     G      (D)
I know I have to go
 
   D       G/G

[Verse 3]
         D              A                G                Em7
It's not time to make a change, just sit down and take it slowly
       (Away,          away,             away
             D                  Bm                Em                  D
You're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to go through
                 (I                 know          I    have    to     make ...)
             D            A            G             Em7
      Find a girl, settle down, if you want, you can marry
( ... this decision                   alone ...)
        D        Bm           Em    Em Em7 D
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
         (No ...)
 
[Verse 4]
        D               F#m             G                Em7
All the times that I've cried, keeping all the things I knew inside
       (Stay,           stay,          stay
     D              Bm          Em      Em Em7 D
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
        (Why          must       you go    and make ...)
             D           F#m             G                   Em7
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know, not me
( ... this decision                    alone ...)
              D          Bm          A       D       D/D
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away
  A      G       G
I know I have to go
