G D C Am
it's not time to make a change, just relax, take it easy
G Em Am D
you're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to know
G D C Am
find a girl, settle down, if you want you can marry
G Em Am D
look at me, i am old but i'm happy
G Bm C Am
i was once as you are now, and i know it's not easy
G Em Am D
to be calm, when you've found something going on
G Bm C Am
but take your time, think a lot, why think of everything you've got
G Em D G Riff x2
for you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not
G Bm C Am

from the moment i could talk, i was ordered to listen
G Em D G
now there's a way, and i know that i have to go away

you're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to go through
G D C Am
find a girl, settle down, if you want you can marry
G Em Am D
look at me, i am old, but i'm happy
G Bm C Am7
all the times that i've cried, keeping all the things i knew inside
G Em Am D
it's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
G Bm C Am
if they were right, i'd agree, but it's them they know not me now
G Em D G

D C G
i know, i have to go
