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

         G#              D#                C#                A#m7
It's not time to make a change, just sit down and take it slowly
       (Away,          away,             away
             G#                  Fm                A#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 ...)
             G#            D#            C#             A#m7
      Find a girl, settle down, if you want, you can marry
( ... this decision                   alone ...)
        G#        Fm           A#m    A#m A#m7 D
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
         (No ...)

        G#               Cm             C#                A#m7
All the times that I've cried, keeping all the things I knew inside
       (Stay,           stay,          stay
     G#              Fm          A#m      A#m A#m7 D
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
        (Why          must       you go    and make ...)
             G#           Cm             C#                   A#m7
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know, not me
( ... this decision                    alone ...)
              G#          Fm          D#       G#       G#/D
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away
  D#      C#       G
I know I have to go
