D                   D  
Got a call from an old friend
               G
We used to be real close
A                                    D
Said he couldn't go on the American way
D                           D  
Closed the shop, sold the house
                        G
Bought a ticket to the West Coast
A                                         D
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.

Chorus:
D                    D                     G
I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
A                                              D
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
D                       D                  G
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
A                                           Bm
Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone

Bm                                   F#7  
I never said you had to offer me a second chance
D                              Esus4        E
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
G          D   F#              Bm
I still belong, don't get me wrong
E7
And you can speak your mind
     G  A   G  A
But not on my time

They will tell you you can't sleep alone in
a strange place
Then they'll tell you you can't sleep with
somebody else
Ah, but sooner or later, you sleep in your own space
Either way, it's okay, you wake up with yourself

Chorus

I never said you had to offer me a second chance
(I never said you had to...)
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
(Of circumstance...)

I still belong (Still belong)
Don't get me wrong (Get me wrong)
And you can speak your mind
But not on my time

Chorus:
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, leave me alone

Keep it to yourself, it's my life
Keep it to yourself, it's my life
Keep it to yourself, it's my life
Keep it to yourself, it's my life...
