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,    but take your time, think a lot,

Why, think of everything you've got, for you will still be here to-morrow,

But your dreams may not

How can I try to ex-plain?    When I do , he turns a-way again!
       G                  Em               Am7  D
It's always been the same,   the same old story,
            G            Bm            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    G    C/G
I know I have to go
