[Father]
G D
It's not time to make a change,
C Am7
just re - lax and take it easy
G Em
You're still young that's your fault,
Am D
there's so much you have to know
G D
Find a girl, settle down,
C Am7
if you want to, you can marry
G Em Am D
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
G Bm7
I was once like you are now,
C Am7
and I know that it´s not easy
G Em
to be calm, when you´ve found
Am D
something going on.
G Bm7
But take your time, think a lot,
C Am7
think of everything you've got
G Em
For you will still be here to - morrow,
D G
but your dreams may not
G - C6/G - riff - G - C6/G
[Chorus] [Son]
G Bm
How can I try to ex - plain?
C Am7
when I do he turns a - way again
G Em
it's always been the same, -
Am D
same old story
G Bm
From the moment I could talk
C Am7
I was ordered to listen
G Em
now there's a way and I know
D G
that I have to go away
D / C / G
I know I have to go

G D
It's not time to make a change,
C Am7
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
Find a girl, settle down,
C Am7
if you want to, you can marry
G Em Am D
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
[Son]
G Bm
All the times that I cried,
C Am7
keeping all the things I knew inside
G Em
It's hard, but it's harder
Am D
to ig - nore it.
G Bm
If they were right, I'd a - gree,
C Am7
but it's them they know, not me, now
G Em D G
there's a way and I know that I have to go away
D / C G
I know I have to go//
