Lyrics
Got a call from an old friend,
we used to be real close.
(A)Said he couldn't go on the American way.
(G)Closed the shop, sold the house,
bought a ticket to the West
Coast.
(A)Now he gives them a standup routine in L.
A.
(D)I don't need you to worry for me 'cause I'm alright.
(A)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)Go ahead with your own life,
leave me alone.
I never said you had to offer me a (F#)second chance.
(D7)I never said I was a victim of circumstance.
I still belong,
(F#)don't get me wrong.
(E9)You can speak your mind, but (G)not (A)on my time.
(D)They will tell you you can't sleep alone in a strange place.
(A)Then they'll tell you you can't sleep with somebody else.
(G)Ah, but soon or later, you sleep in your own space.
(A)Either way, it's okay, you wake up with yourself.
(G)I don't care what you say anymore,
this is my life.
Go ahead with your own life,
leave me alone.
(Ebmaj7)Keep it to yourself, it's my (Bb)life.
(Ebmaj7)Keep it to yourself, it's my (Bb)life.
(Ebmaj7)Keep it to yourself, it's my (Bb)life.
(Ebmaj7)Keep it to yourself, it's my (Bb)life.
