\nJohn Haefner Lyrics<\/a>
\nWritten By Cat Stevens<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not [C] time to make a [G] change, just re-[F]-lax, take it [Dm7] easy – <\/span>you\u2019re still [C] young, that\u2019s your [Am] fault,<\/span> – there\u2019s so [Dm] much you have to [G] know.<\/span>
\nFind a [C] girl, settle [G] down, if you [F] want, you can [Dm7] marry – <\/span>Look at [C] me, I am [Am] old, but I\u2019m [Dm] happy. [G] <\/span><\/p>\n

I was [C] once like you are [Em7] now, and I [F] know that\u2019s it\u2019s not [Dm7] easy – <\/span>to be [C] calm when you\u2019ve [Am] found something [Dm] going on. [G]
\n<\/span>But take your [C] time, think a [Em7] lot, – <\/span>think of [F] everything you\u2019ve [Dm7] got –<\/span> for you will [C] still be here to[Am] morrow, – <\/span>but your [G] dreams may not.<\/span><\/p>\n

How can [C] I try to ex-[Em]-plain, – <\/span>when I [F] do he turns a-[Dm7]-way again – <\/span>It\u2019s [C] always been the [Am] same, same old [Dm] story. [G] <\/span><\/span>
\nFrom the [C] moment I could [Em] talk, I was [F] ordered to [Dm7] listen – <\/span>now there\u2019s a [C] way and I [Am] know that I [G] have to [C] go away. <\/span>– I [G] know I [F] have to go.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

[C G F Dm7 – C Am Dm G ] – REPEAT PROGRESSION
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not [C] time to make a [G] change, just sit [F] down, take it [Dm7] slowly – <\/span>you\u2019re still [C] young, that\u2019s your [Am] fault, – <\/span>there\u2019s so [Dm] much you have to [G] go through.<\/span>
\nFind a [C] girl, settle [G] down, if you [F] want, you can [Dm7] marry – <\/span>Look at [C] me, I am [Am] old, but I\u2019m [Dm] happy. [G] <\/span><\/p>\n

All the [C] times that I\u2019ve [Em] tried keeping<\/span> [F] all the things I [Dm7] knew inside.\u00a0 <\/span>It\u2019s [C] hard but it\u2019s [Am] harder to i-[Dm]-gnore it. [G] <\/span>
\nIf they were [C] right, I\u2019d a-[Em7]-gree,\u00a0 <\/span>but it\u2019s [F] them they know not [Dm7] me, <\/span>now there\u2019s a [C] way and I [Am] know that I [G] have to [C] go away.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

I [G] know I [F] have to [G hold] go.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
