D5                                             G5
Got a call from an old friend we'd used to be real close
A5                                   D5
Said he couldn't go on the American way
                                                        G5
Closed the shop, sold the house, bought a ticket to the west coast
A5                                         D5  D5 - B5 - A5 - C5 - Eb5 - Bb5
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.
D5                                           G5
I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm allright
A5                                             D5
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
                                          G5
I don't care what you say anymore this is my life
A5                                         B5
Go ahead with your own life leave me alone
                                    F#5
I never said you had to offer me a second chance
D5                             E5
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
G5            D5
I still belong
F#5           B5
Don't get me wrong
E5
And you can speak your mind
    G5   A5  G5  A5
But not on my time
D5                                             G5
They will tell you you can't sleep alone in a strange place
A5                                               D5
Then they'll tell you can't sleep with somebody else
                                         G5
Ah but sooner or later you sleep in your own space
A5                                         D5
Either way it's O.K. you wake up with yourself
