Compact solo-guitar arrangement of the complete song using the intro figure as the primary accompaniment, with four lyric verses and the instrumental solo retained.

[Intro]
|   |   |
|   |   |

[Verse 1]
|   |   |
It's not time to make a change, just relax and take it easy
|  |  |  |   |
You're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to know
|   |   |
Find a girl, settle down, if you want to, you can marry
|  |  |  |    |
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy

|   |   |
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 tomorrow, but your dreams may not

[Intro]
|   |   |

[Verse 2]
|   |   |
How can I try to explain? 'cause when I do he turns away again
|   |   |
It's always been the same, same old story
|   |   |
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen
|   |   |
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away
|   |   |
I know I have to go

[Solo]
|   |   |
|   |   |
|   |   |
|   |   |
|   |   |
|   |   |

[Verse 3]
|   |   |
It's not time to make a change, just sit down and take it slowly
|   |   |
You're still young, that's your fault, there's so much you have to go through
|   |   |
Find a girl, settle down, if you want, you can marry
|  |  |  |    |
Look at me, I am old, but I'm happy

[Verse 4]
|   |   |
All the times that I've cried, keeping all the things I knew inside
|  |  |  |    |
It's hard, but it's harder to ignore it
|   |   |
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know, not me
|  |  |  |   |
Now there's a way, and I know that I have to go away
|   |   |
I know I have to go
