[Father]
G D C Am7
It's not time to make a change, just relax 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 C Am7
Find a girl, settle down, if you want, you can marry
G Em Am C G D
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
G Bm7 C Am7
I was once like you are now, and I know that its not easy
G Em Am C G D
to be calm, when you've found something going on
G Bm7 C Am7
But take your time, think a lot, why think of everything you've got
G Em D G
For you will still be here tomorrow, but your dreams may not

I know I have to go

[Father]
G D C Am7
It's not time to make a change, just sit down and take it slowly
G Em Am
You're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have
D G D C Am
to go through, find a girl, settle down, if you want you can marry
G Em Am C G D
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy
[Son]
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 Am7
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know, not me
G Em D G
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away
D C G
I know I have to go
