it's always been the same, same old story
         Sol                Re          Do            Lam
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen now
        Sol          Mim            Re      Do      Sol
there's a way and I know I have to go away
      Re      Do      Sol
and I know I have to go

         Sol                  Re             Do            Lam
It's not time to make a change, just sit down and take it slowly

         Sol                 Re             Do             Lam
All the times that I cried, keeping all the things I knew inside
     (why?)      (must)              (you go and make this decision)
     Sol             Mim          Lam           Re

 (alone?)
         Sol                 Re          Do                 Lam
If they were right, I'd agree, but it's them they know, not me
