My Life

-------------

Intro/Fill/Outro: D-Bm-Am-C9-Ebmaj7-Bb

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 [Fill]

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
