        D#           Gm                  G#             Fm7
How can I try to explain? 'cause when I do he turns away again
     D#                Cm            Fm7   D
It's always been the same, same old story

From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen

It's not time to make a change, just sit down and take it slowly
       (Away,          away,             away
             D#                  Cm                Fm                  D
You're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to go through

        D#               Gm             G#                Fm7
All the times that I've cried, keeping all the things I knew inside
       (Stay,           stay,          stay
     D#              Cm          Fm      Fm Fm7 D
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
        (Why          must       you go    and make ...)
             D#           Gm             G#                   Fm7
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know, not me
( ... this decision                    alone ...)
              D#          Cm          A#       D#       D#/D
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away

I know I have to go
