         G              D             C                 Am7
It's not time to make a change, just relax and take it easy

to be calm, when you've found something going on

        G          Bm             C                  Am7
How can I try to explain?  when I do he turns away again

     G               Em             Am    C  D
it's always been the same, same old story

         G              Bm         C          Am7
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen

              G         Em     D       G
now there's a way and I know I have to go away

      D      C       G
and I know I have to go

[Verse 2]
         G              D                C                Am7
It's not time to make a change, just sit down and take it slowly

             G                  Em
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 to you can marry

        G        Em           Am    C D
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
[Chorus]
        G            Bm             C                Am7
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside

     G              Em          Am      C D
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it

             G            Bm            C               Am7
If they were right, I'd agree, 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
