MY LIFE 
 
           
 D                                               G 
  Got a call from an old friend we'd used to be real close; 
 A                                     D 
  said he couldn't go on the American way. 
                                                           G 
  Closed the shop, sold the house, bought a ticket to the west coast, 
 A                                          D 
  now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A. 
 
            
 D                                           G 
  I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm allright, 
 A                                               D 
  I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home. 
                                             G 
  I don't care what you say anymore this is my life 
 A                                      Bm 
  Go ahead with your own life leave me alone 
       
      
                                     F# 
  I never said you had to offer me a second chance 
D7                               E9 
  I never said I was a victim of circumstance 
 G           D 
  I still belong, 
F#              Bm 
  don't get me wrong, 
E9 
  and you can speak your mind, 
       G  A   G  A 
  but not on my time. 
 
           
 D                                                 G 
  They will tell you you can't sleep alone in a strange place, 
 A                                                D 
  then they'll tell you can't sleep with somebody else 
                                           G 
  Ah but sooner or later you sleep in your own space 
 A                                           D 
  Either way it's O.K. you wake up with yourself
