It’s not time to make a
change Just relax, take it slowly
G Em Am D
You’re still young,
that’s your fault There’s so much you
have to know
G Bm C Am
Find a girl, settle
down If you want you can marry
G Em D
Look at me, I am old But
I’m happy
G Bm C Am
I was once like you are
now And I know that it’s not easy

To be calm when you’ve
found Something going on
G

a lot Think of everything you’ve got

For you will still be
here tomorrow

Now, there’s a way, and I

to go through

Look at me, I am old But I’m happy
G Bm C Am
All the times that I
cried Keeping all the things I knew inside

agree But it’s them they know, not me
