_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
It could be my granddaughter.
[Gm] _ The only one allowed in here. _ _ _ _ _

[C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ It's [G] not time to [D] make a change.
_ [C] Just relax, take it [Am] easy.
_ [G] You're still young, [Em] that's your fault.
There's [Am] so much you have to [D] know.
_ Find a [G] girl, _ settle [D] down.
_ If you [C] want, you can [Am] marry.
Look at [G] me, _ I [Em] am old, but I'm [Am] happy. _ _
[D] _ _ I was [G] once like you [D] are now.
_ And I [C] know that it's not [Am] easy to be [G] calm
_ when [Em] you've found something [Am] going _ on.
[D] _ Take [G] your time, think a [D] lot.
_ [C] Think of everything [Am] you've got.
For you will [G] still be here [Em] tomorrow,
_ but [D] your [G] dreams may not. _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [G] How can I try to [Bm] explain?
_ Cause when [C] I do, it turns [Am] away _ again.
It's [G] always been [Em] the same.
_ [Am] Same old story.
_ _ [D] _ _ [Am] From the [G] moment I could [Bm] talk,
_ I was [C] _
ordered to [Am] listen.
And now [G] there's a way,
and I [Em] know that [D] I [G] have to go away.
_ [D] I know _ [C] I have [G] to go.

_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [G] It's not time to [D] make a change.
Just sit [C] down, take it [Am] slowly.
_ You're [G] still young, that's [Em] your fault.
[Am] There's so much you have to [D] go through.
_ Find a [G] girl, _ settle [D] down.
_ If you [C] want, you can [Am] marry.
Look at [G] me, _ I [Em] am old, but [Am] I'm happy. _ _
[D] _ _ [G] All the times that I've [Bm] cried,
_ [C] keeping all the things I [Am] knew inside.
_ [G] It's hard, but [Em] it's harder to [Am] ignore it. _
[D] _ If [Am] they [G] were right, I'd [Bm] agree.
But [C] it's them they know, not [Am] me.
Now there's [G] a way, and I [Em] know
that [D] I have to [G] go away.
_ I [D] know _ I [C] have to [G] go. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Thank you. _ _
Very kind, thank you very much. _ _ _ _
