	G	D	C	Am7
It's not	time to make a	change, just re	lax, 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	Am7
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	B	C	Am7
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	B
But take your	time, think a	lot,

	C	Am7
think of	everything you've	got

	G	Em
for you will	still be here to	morrow,

	D	G	C
but your	dreams may	not

	G	B
How can	I try to ex	plain,

	G	Em	Am	D

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	C
I	know I	have to	go

	G	D	C	Am7
It's not	time to make a	change, just re	lax, take it	slowly

you're still	young, that's your	fault,

	Am	D
there's so	much you have to	go through

	G	D	C	Am7
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	B
All the	times that I've	tried keeping

	C	Am7
	all the things I	knew inside

	G	Em	Am	D
It's	hard but it's	harder to i	gnore it

	G	B
If they were	right, I'd a	gree,

	C	Am7
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
