Music & Lyrics: Cat Stevens
G G G C (4x)
[VERSE 1]
G D
It’s not time to make a change,
C Am G
Just relax, take it easy, you’re still young
Em Am D
That’s your fault, there’s so much you have to know.
G D C Am
Find a girl, settle down, if you want you can marry.
G Em Am D
Look at me, I am old but I’m happy.
G D
I was once like you are now,
C Am
And I know that it’s not easy
G Em Am D
To be calm when you’ve found something going on,
G D
But take your time, think a lot,
C Am
Why, think of everything you’ve got
G Em
For you will still be here to – morrow
Am G
But your dreams may not.
[VERSE 2]
G D
How can I try to exp – lain,
C Am
‚cause when I do he turns away again,
G Em C D
It’s always been the same, same old story.
G D C Am
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen,
G Em Am G
Now there’s a way and I know that I have to go away
D C G
I know, I have to go.
G G G C (2x)

[VERSE 3]
G D
It’s not time to make a change,
C Am
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 C Am
Find a girl, settle down if you want you can marry.
G Em Am D
Look at me I am old but I’m happy.
G D
All the times that I’ve cried
C Am
Keeping all the things I knew inside,
G Em Am D
It’s hard, but it’s harder to ig – nore it.
G D
If they were right, I’d ag – ree,
C Am G
But it’s them they know not me, now there’s a way,
Em Am G D C G
And I know that I have to go away, I know I have to go.
