[Verse 1 - Father]
It's not Gtime to make a D/F#change, just reClax and take it Am7easy
You're still Gyoung that's your Emfault, there's so Ammuch you have to Dknow
Find a Ggirl, settle D/F#down, if you Cwant, you can Am7marry
Look at Gme, I am Emold, but I'm Amhappy D
I was Gonce like you are Dnow, and I Cknow that it's not Am7easy
To be Gcalm when you've Emfound something going Amon D
But take your Gtime, think a Dlot, why think of Ceverything you've Am7got
For you will Gstill be here toEmmorrow, but your Ddreams may Gnot

[Verse 3 - Father]
It's not Gtime to make a Dchange, just sit Cdown and take it Am7slowly
You're still Gyoung, that's your Emfault, there's so Ammuch you have to go Dthrough
Find a Ggirl, settle Ddown, if you Cwant you can Am7marry
Look at Gme, I am Emold, but I'm Amhappy D
[Verse 4 - Son]
All the Gtimes that I've Bmcried, keeping Call the things I Am7knew inside
It's Ghard, but it's Emharder to iAmgnore it D
If they were Gright, I'd aBmgree, but it's Cthem they know, not Am7me
Now there's a Gway, and I Emknow that I Dhave to Ggo away
[Outro]
I Dknow I Chave to Ggo
