{comment: Verse 1}
It’s not ti[G]me to make a cha[D]nge,
Just rela[C]x, take it e[Am]asy,
you’re still yo[G]ung, that’s your fa[Em]ult,
there's so mu[Am]ch you have to kno[D]w.

Find a gi[G]rl, settle do[D]wn,
if you wa[C]nt you can ma[Am]rry.
Look at m[G]e, I am o[Em]ld
but I’m ha[Am]ppy. [D]

I was o[G]nce like you are no[D]w,
And I kno[C]w that it's not e[Am]asy,
To be ca[G]lm when you've fo[Em]und
something go[Am]ing on, [D]

But take your ti[G]me, think a lo[D]t,
Why, think of e[C]verything you've go[Am]t
For you will sti[G]ll be here to - mo[Em]rrow
But your dre[Am]ams may no[G]t.

{comment: Verse 2}
How can [G]I try to exp - la[D]in,
'cause when I d[C]o he turns awa[Am]y again,
It’s a[G]lways been the sa[Em]me,
same old sto[Am]ry. [D]

From the mo[G]ment I could ta[D]lk
I was o[C]rdered to li[Am]sten,
Now there's a wa[G]y and I kno[Em]w
that I ha[Am]ve to go[G] away
I kno[D]w, I ha[C]ve to go[G].

{comment: Verse 3}
It’s not ti[G]me to make a cha[D]nge,
Just sit do[C]wn, take it slo[Am]wly,
You’re still yo[G]ung, that's your fa[Em]ult
There’s so mu[Am]ch you have to go thro[D]ugh.

Find a gi[G]rl, settle do[D]wn
if you wa[C]nt you can ma[Am]rry.
Look at me[G] I am o[Em]ld
but I’m ha[Am]ppy. [D]

All the ti[G]mes that I’ve cri[D]ed
Keeping a[C]ll the things I kne[Am]w inside,
It’s ha[G]rd, but it's ha[Em]rder
to ig - no[Am]re it. [D]

If they were ri[G]ght, I’d ag - re[D]e,
But it's the[C]m you know not me[Am] now
there's a wa[G]y, and I kno[Em]w
that I ha[Am]ve to go[G] away

I kno[D]w, I ha[C]ve to go[G].
