Father
It's not
G
time to make a
D/F#
change, Just re-
C
lax, take it
Am7
easy
You're still
G
young, that's your
Em
fault, There's so
Am
much you have to
D
know
Find a
G
girl, settle
D/F#
down, If you
C
want you can
Am7
marry
Look at
G
me, I am
Em
old, but I'm
Am
happy __
D
I was
G
once like you are
D/F#
now, and I
C
know that it's not
Am7
easy
To be
G
calm when you've
Em
found something
Am
going on __
D
But take your
G
time, think a
D/F#
lot, Why think of
C
everything you've
Am7
got
For you will
G
still be here to
Em
morrow, but your
D
dreams may
G
not

Son
How can
G
I try to ex-
Bm
plain, when I
C
do he turns a-
Am7
way again
It's
G
always been the
Em
same, same old
Am
story __
D
From the
G
moment I could
Bm
talk, I was
C
ordered to
Am7
listen
Now there's a
G
way and I
Em
know, that I
D
have to
G
go away
I
D
know I
C
have to
G
go

Son
All the
G
times that I
Bm
cried, keeping
C
all the things I
Am7
knew inside
It's
G
hard, but it's
Em
harder to ig-
Am
nore it__
D
If they were
G
right, I'd a-
Bm
gree, but it's
C
them they know not
Am7
me
Now there's a
G
way and I
Em
know, that I
D
have to
G
go away,
I
D
know, I
C
have to
G
go.
