         G              D
It's not time to make a change,
       C            Am7
Just relax, take it easy.
             G                  Em
You're still young, that's your fault,
          Am               D
Theres so much you have to know.
       G            D
Find a girl, settle down,
        C           Am7
If you want you can marry.
        G        Em
Look at me, I am old,
        Am       D
but I'm happy.



      G                 D
I was once like you are now, 
       C                  Am7
and I know that it's not easy,
       G                Em
To be calm when you've found 
  Am            D
something going on.
              G             D
But take your time, think a lot,
              C                 Am7
Why, think of everything you've got.
     G                      Em
For you will still be here tomorrow, 
      Am             D
but your dreams may not.

          G          D
How can I try to explain, 
        C           Am7
when I do he turns away again.
       G              Em
It's always been the same, 
Am         D
same old story.
          G              D
From the moment I could talk 
      C          Am7
I was ordered to listen.
               G          Em
Now there's a way and I know 
       Am           D
that I have to go away.
G                D             
I know I have to go.

          G              D
It's not time to make a change,
     C                  Am7
Just sit down, take it slowly.
               G                 Em
You're still young, that's your fault,
Am                       D
There's so much you have to go through.
       G             D
Find a girl, settle down,
        C           Am7
If you want you can marry.
        G         Em
Look at me, I am old, 
Am         D
but I'm happy.


          G              D
All the times that I cried, 
         C                Am7
keeping all the things I knew inside,
       G            Em
It's hard, but it's harder 
Am         D
to ignore it.
              G          D
If they were right, I'd agree, 
           C               Am7
but it's them you know not me.
              G          Em
Now there's a way and I know 
Am         D
that I have to go away.
G           D     
I know I have to go.
