          G              Bm             C           Am
It's not time to make a change, Just relax, take it easy.
             G                  Em
You're still young, that's your fault,
            C                 D
There's so much you have to know.
Find a girl, settle down,
If you want you can marry.
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy.

I was once like you are now and
I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you found somethin' going on
But take your time think a lot
why think of every thing you've got
For you'll still be here tomorrow but your dreams may not

How can I try to explain cause when I do he turns away again
And it's always been the same same old story
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away

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
Find a boy settle down and if you want you can marry
Look at me gettin' old but I'm happy

All the times that I have cried
keeping all the things I knew inside
It's hard but it's harder to ignore it (oh stay)
If they were right I'd agree but it's
them that know not me
Now there's a way and I know that
I have to go away I know I have to go away
