It's not time [D] to make a change, [C] just relax and take it easy.
You're [G] still young, it's [Em] your fault, there's [Am] so much you have to [D] know.
Find [G] a girl, settle [D] down, if [C] you want you can marry.
Now look at [G] me, I'm [Em] old, but I'm [Am] happy.
[D]
I was [G] once like you are [D] now, and I [C] know that it's not easy to [G] become.
[Em] When you're found, [Am] something's going on.

[D]
All [G] the times that [D] I cry, [C] keeping all the things I knew inside.
[G] It's hard, but [Em] it's hard to [Am] ignore it.
