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

[Verse 2]
        F#           A#m                  B             G#m7
How can I try to explain? 'cause when I do he turns away again
     F#                D#m            G#m7   D
It's always been the same, same old story
          F#              A#m        B             G#m7
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
               F#          D#m         C#       G
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away
   C#     B      (F#)
I know I have to go
 
   F#       B/G

[Verse 3]
         F#              C#                B                G#m7
It's not time to make a change, just sit down and take it slowly
       (Away,          away,             away
             F#                  D#m                G#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 ...)
             F#            C#            B             G#m7
      Find a girl, settle down, if you want, you can marry
( ... this decision                   alone ...)
        F#        D#m           G#m    G#m G#m7 D
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
         (No ...)
 
[Verse 4]
        F#               A#m             B                G#m7
All the times that I've cried, keeping all the things I knew inside
       (Stay,           stay,          stay
     F#              D#m          G#m      G#m G#m7 D
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
        (Why          must       you go    and make ...)
             F#           A#m             B                   G#m7
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know, not me
( ... this decision                    alone ...)
              F#          D#m          C#       F#       F#/D
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away
  C#      B       G
I know I have to go
