	G		Bm
It’s not	time	to make a change,

	C		Am7
just re	lax,	take it eas	y.

	G		Em
You’re still	young,	that’s your	fault,

	Am		D
there’s so	much	you have to know.

	G		D
Find a girl,		settle down,

	C		Am7
if you want		you can marr	y.

	G		Em		Am	D
Look at	me,	I am	old,	but I’m h	appy.

	G		D
I was	once	like you are	now

	C		Am7
and I	know	that it’s not	easy

	G		Em
to be	calm	when you’ve	found

	Am		D
something	going	on.

	G		D
But take your	ti	me, think a lot.

	C		Am7
Why, think of	eve	rything you’ve got.

	G		Em
For you will	still	be here tomorrow,

	D		G
but your	drea	ms may	not.

	G		Bm
How can	I	try to exp	lain?

	C		Am7
When I do,		he turns away	a	gain.

	G		Em		Am		D
It’s	al	ways been the same,		same old	sto	ry.

	G		Bm
From the	mo	ment I could talk

	C		Am7
I was	ord	ered to list	en.

	G		Em
Now there’s a	way	and I	know

	D		G		D		C		G
that I	ha	ve to	go	away, I	know	I	have	to	go.

	G		Bm
It’s not	ti	me to make a change.

	C		Am7
Just sit	down,	take it	slowly.

	G		Em
You’re still	youn	g, that’s your	fault,

there’s so	much	you have to go	through.

	G		D
Find a girl,		settle down,

	C		Am7
if you want,		you can marr	y

	G		Em		Am	D
Look at	me,	I am	old,	but I’m	happy.

	G		Bm
All the	ti	mes that I cried.

	C		Am7
Keeping	all	the things I	knew	inside.

	G		Em		Am		D
It’s	hard,	but it’s	har	der to ig	nore	it.

	G		Bm
If they were	right,	I’d a	gree,

	C		Am7
but it’s	them,	they know not	me

	G		Em
Now there’s a	way	and I	know

	D		G		D		C		G
that I	ha	ve to	go	away, I	know	I	have	to	go
