(Father)                                    
--       G                  D          C            Am7
It's not time to make a change, just relax, 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                         Am7
Find a girl,settle down, if you want you can marry
        G        Em           Am      D
Look at me, I am old but I am happy.
            
      G                  D         C             Am7        G
I was once  like you are now,and I know it's not easy to be calm
            Em                    Am     D
When you've found something going on.
              G                 D             C                   Am7
But take your time, think a lot,  think of every thing you've got
             G               Em
For you will still be here tomorrow
                    G    C    G    C
But your dreams may not.

(Son)
        G          D             C               Am7
How can I try to explain? When I do he turns away     again,
     G               Em             Am     D
It's always been the same, same old story.
         G              D          C             Am7
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
              G          Em          D           G
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away
  D      C       G    C    G    C
I know I have to go.

(Father) 
         G              D                C             Am7
It's not time to make a change, just sit down, 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            /            Am7
Find a girl, settle down, if you want you can marry,
        G          Em         Am     D
Look at me, I am old but I am happy.

(Son)   
        G               D              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         D               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.
