\begin{verse}
It's not \[G]time to make a \[D]change
Just re\[C]lax, take it \[Am]easy
You're still \[G]young, that's your \[Em]fault
There's so \[Am]much you have to \[D]know
\end{verse}
\begin{verse*}
Find a girl, settle down
If you want, you can marry
Look at me, I am old
But I'm happy
\end{verse*}
\begin{verse}
I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found
Something going on
\end{verse}
\begin{verse*}
But take your time, think a lot
Think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your \[D]dreams may \[G]not
\end{verse*}
\begin{verse}
How can I try to explain?
When I do, he turns away again
And it's always been the same
Same old story
\end{verse}
\begin{verse*}
From the moment I could talk
I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way, and I know
That I \[D]have to \[G]go away
I \[D]know, I \[C]have to \[G]go
\end{verse*}
\begin{verse}
It's not time to make a change
Just sit down
And take it slowly
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to go through
\end{verse}
\begin{verse*}
Find a girl, settle down
If you want, you can marry
Look at me, I am old
But I'm happy
\end{verse*}
\begin{verse}
All the times, that I've cried
Keeping all the things I knew inside
And it's hard
But it's harder to ignore it
\end{verse}
\begin{verse*}
If they were right, I'd agree
But it's them, they know, not me
Now there's a way, and I know
I have to go away
I know I have to go
\end{verse*}
