(Verse 1)
It's not [G] time to make a [D/F#] change, just [C] relax and take it [Am7] easy
You're still [G] young, that's your [Em] fault, there's so [Am] much you [Am7] have to [D] know
Find a [G] girl, settle [D/F#] down, if you [C] want to, you can [Am7] marry
Look at [G] me, I am [Em] old, but I'm [Am] happy [Am] [Am7] [D]
I was [G] once like you are [D] now, and I [C] know that it's not [Am7] easy
To be [G] calm when you've [Em] found something going [Am] on [Am] [Am7] [D]
But take your [G] time, think a [D] lot, why think of [C] everything you've [Am7] got
For you will [G] still be here [Em] tomorrow, but your [D] dreams may [G] not [C/G]
(Verse 2)
How can [G] I try to [Bm] explain? 'cause when I [C] do he turns [Am7] away again
It's [G] always been the [Em] same, same old [Am7] story [D]
From the [G] moment I could [Bm] talk I was [C] ordered to [Am7] listen
Now there's a [G] way, and I [Em] know that I [D] have to [G] go away
I [D] know I [C] have to [G] go [C/G]
(Solo)
[G] [D] [C] [Am7] [G] [Em] [Am7] [D]
[G] [D] [C] [Am7] [G] [Em] [D] [G]
[D] [C] [G]
(Verse 3)
It's not [G] time to make a [D] change, just sit [C] down and take it [Am7] slowly
(Away, away, away
You're still [G] young, that's your [Em] fault, there's so [Am] much you have to go [D] through
(I know I have to make ...)
Find a [G] girl, settle [D] down, if you [C] want, you can [Am7] marry
( ... this decision alone ...)
Look at [G] me, I am [Em] old, but I'm [Am] happy [Am] [Am7] [D]
(No ...)
(Verse 4)
All the [G] times that I've [Bm] cried, keeping [C] all the things I [Am7] knew inside
(Stay, stay, stay
It's [G] hard, but it's [Em] harder to [Am] ignore it [Am] [Am7] [D]
(Why must you go and make ...)
If they were [G] right, I'd [Bm] agree, but it's [C] them they know, not [Am7] me
( ... this decision alone ...)
Now there's a [G] way, and I [Em] know that I [D] have to [G] go away [G/D]
I [D] know I [C] have to [G] go
