(intro)  G C G C

                 G                        D                 C                     Am
1. It`s not time to make a change, just relax, abd take it easy,
                        G                        Em
    you`re still young, that`s your fault,
                      Am                          D
    there`s so much you have to know.
                G               D                 C                   Am
    Find a girl, settle down, if you want, you can marry,
                 G           Em              Am           D
    look at me, I am old, but I`m happy.

               G                         D                C                      Am
2. 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                 D                         C                             Am
    But take your time, think a lot, why, think of      everything you`ve got,
                        G                  Em                        D                G      Em
    for you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not.

                  A               E                 D                 Bm
3. How can I try to explain, when I do he turns away again,
           A                       F#m                          Bm        E
    it`s always been the same, the same old story.
                      A                     E              D              Bm
    From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen,
                     A             F#m            E         A
    there`s a way, and I know that I have to go away,
          E        D         A     D
    I know, I have to go.

( G C G C )

                  G                       D                    C                        Am
3. 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
    there`s so much I have to go through.
                G               D                C                  Am
    Find a girl, settle down, if you want you can marry,
                 G           Em              D
    look at me, I am old, but I`m happy.

                 A                E
4. All the times that I cried,
                  D                     Bm
    keeping all the things I knew  inside,
            A                F#m           Bm          E
    it`s hard, but it`s harder to ignore it.
                        A                E                 D                           Bm
    If they were right, I`d agree, but it`s them, they know not me, now,
                     A            F#m            E                  A
    there`s a way and I know that I have to go away,
          E        D         A
    I know, I have to go.
