D                                             G  
Got a call from an old friend we'd used to be real close  
A                                   D     G    D  
Said he couldn't go on the American way  
                               D                            G  
Closed the shop, sold the house, bought a ticket to the west coast

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

I never said you had to offer me a second chance  
D7                             E9             E7  F# G  
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       G  D  
Then they'll tell you can't sleep with somebody else  
                   D                      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  

(repeat the chorus at the end)
