verse 1:
It's not [F#]time to make a [C#]change, just re-[B]lax, take it [G#m7]easy,
You're still yo[F#]ung, that's your [D#m]fault, there's so [G#m]much you have to [C#]know,
Find a g[F#]irl, settle [C#]down, if you [B]want, you can [G#m7]marry,
Look at [F#]me, I am [D#m]old, but I'm [G#m7]happy[C#]
verse 2:
I was [F#]once like you are [Bbm7]now, and I [B]know that it's not [G#m7]easy to be [F#]calm,
When you've [D#m]found something going [G#m7]on, [C#] but take your [F#]time, think a [Bbm7]lot,
Why, think of [B]everything you've [G#m7]got, for you will [F#]still be here to-[D#m]morrow,
But your [B]dreams may not

verse 3:
How can [F#]I try to ex-[Bbm7]plain? When I [B]do , he turns a-[G#m7]way again!
It's [F#]always been the [D#m]same, the same [G#m7]old story,[C#]
From the [F#]moment I could [Bbm7]talk, I was [B]ordered to [G#m7]listen,
Now there's a [F#]way, and I [D#m]know that I [C#]have to [B]go [F#]away,
I kn[C#]ow I [B]have to go

verse 4
It's not t[F#]ime to make a [C#]change, just sit [B]down, take it [G#m7]slowly,
You're still [F#]young, that's you're [D#m]fault there's so [G#m]much
you have to [C#]go through, Find a [F#]girl,settle [C#]down, if you [B]want you can [G#m7]marry,

verse 5
All the [F#]times that I [Bbm7]cried, keeping [B]all the things I [G#m7]knew inside,
It's [F#]hard, but it's [D#m]harder to ig-[G#m7]nore it![C#]
If they were [F#]right, I'd a-[Bbm7]gree, but it's [B]them, they know, not [G#m7]me,
Now there's a [F#]way, and I [D#m]know that I [C#]have to [B]go [F#]away, I [C#]know I [B]have to [F#]go
