It's not time to make a change, just relax, take it easy
                  G                           Em                    Am                                  D
You're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to know
           G               D                  C                   Am
Find a girl, settle down, if you want you can marry

Look at me, I am old but I'm happy

I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy
          G                            Em                       Am          D
To be calm, when you've found something going on
                      G                   Bm                 C                           Am
But take your time, think a lot,  I think of everything you've got
                    G                     Em                       D                 G    
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not   Riff x2

How can I try to explain?   When I do he turns away again

It's always been the same, same old story
               G                        Bm            C              Am
From the moment I could talk, I was ordered to listen    
                      G               Em              D               G
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away
  D          C         G                   
I know I have to go                Riff x2

 

Last verse as inst.  Riffx2

It's not time to make a change, just sit down, take it slowly
                  G                            Em                  Am                             D
You're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to go through

Find a girl, settle down,  if you want you can marry

Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
            G                    Bm                  C                    Am7
All the times that I've cried, keeping all the thingsI knew inside
     G                  Em          Am         D
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
                    G              Bm               C                              Am  
If they were right, I'd agree,  but it's them they know not me now
              G               Em               D                G
There's a way and I know, that I have to go away
  D          C          G
I know, I have to go
