[Verse 1]
         F                C/E         A#                Gm7
It's not time to make a change, just relax and take it easy
             F                   Dm               Gm       Gm7       D
You're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to know
        F            C/E         A#                Gm7
Find a girl, settle down, if you want to, you can marry
         F        Dm          Gm   Gm Gm7 D
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
 
      F                  C          A#                  Gm7
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy
       F                Dm               Gm Gm Gm7 D
To be calm when you've found something going on
               F              C                A#                  Gm7
But take your time, think a lot, why, think of everything you've got
             F                  Dm             C        (F)
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not

[Verse 2]
        F           Am                  A#             Gm7
How can I try to explain? 'cause when I do he turns away again
     F                Dm            Gm7   D
It's always been the same, same old story
          F              Am        A#             Gm7
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
               F          Dm         C       G
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away
   C     A#      (F)
I know I have to go
 
   F       A#/G

[Verse 3]
         F              C                A#                Gm7
It's not time to make a change, just sit down and take it slowly
       (Away,          away,             away
             F                  Dm                Gm                  D
You're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to go through
                 (I                 know          I    have    to     make ...)
             F            C            A#             Gm7
      Find a girl, settle down, if you want, you can marry
( ... this decision                   alone ...)
        F        Dm           Gm    Gm Gm7 D
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
         (No ...)
 
[Verse 4]
        F               Am             A#                Gm7
All the times that I've cried, keeping all the things I knew inside
       (Stay,           stay,          stay
     F              Dm          Gm      Gm Gm7 D
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
        (Why          must       you go    and make ...)
             F           Am             A#                   Gm7
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know, not me
( ... this decision                    alone ...)
              F          Dm          C       F       F/D
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away
  C      A#       G
I know I have to go
