Couplet 1:
----------
         G              D/F#           C               Am7
It's not time to make a change, just relax and take it easy
             G                 Em                Am               D/F#
You're still young that's your fault. There's so much you have to know
       G            D/F#         C                Am7
Find a girl, settle down, if you want to, you can marry
        G        Em           Am   D/F#
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy

Couplet 2:
----------
      G                 D/F#        C                 Am7
I was once like you are now, and I know that its not easy
      G                 Em                    Am  D/F#
to be calm, when you've found something going on
              G             D/F#              C                 Am7
But take your time, think a lot, why think of everything you've got
             G               Em               D/F#       (G   C/G) X 2 
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not


Refrain :
---------
        G          Bm             C            Am7
How can I try to explain?  when I do he turns away again
     G               Em             Am    D/F#
it's always been the same, same old story
         G              Bm         C          Am7
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
              G         Em     D       G  
now there's a way and I know I have to go away
      D      C      (G   C/G) X 2 
and I know I have to go

----------
         G              D/F#             C                Am7
It's not time to make a change, just sit down and take it slowly
             G                 Em                
You're still young that's your fault. 
	   Am               D/F#
There's so much you have to go through       
       G            D/F#         C                Am7
Find a girl, settle down, if you want to, you can marry

--------
        G            Bm             C                Am7        
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside
     G              Em          Am      D/F#
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
             G           Bm             C                   Am7
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know, not me
              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
