[Verse 1]
G D/F# C Am7
It's not time to make a change, just relax and take it easy
G Em Am Am7 D
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 Am Am7 D
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy

G D C Am7
I was once like you are now, and I know that it's not easy
G Em Am Am Am7 D
To be calm when you've found something going on
G D C Am7
But take your time, think a lot, why, think of everything you've got
G Em D (G)
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not

Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away

I know I have to go

[Verse 4]
G Bm C Am7
All the times that I've cried, keeping all the things I knew inside

If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know, not me
