Lyrics

Got a call from an old friend, we used to be real close. Said he could n’t go on the A mer i can way. Closed the shop, sold the house, bought a tick et to the West Coast. Now he gives them a stand up rou tine in L. A. I don’t need you to wor ry for me ’cause I’m al right. I don’t want you to tell me it’s time to come home. I don’t care what you say an y more, this is my life. Go a head with your own life, leave me a lone. I nev er said you had to of fer me a (F#)sec ond chance. I nev er said I was a vic tim of cir cum stance. I still be long, don’t get me wrong. You can speak your mind, but (G)not (A)on my time. They will tell you you can’t sleep a lone in a strange place. Then they’ll tell you you can’t sleep with some bod y else. Ah, but soon er or lat er, you sleep in your own space. Ei ther way, it’s o kay, you wake up with your self. I don’t care what you say an y more, this is (G)my life. Go a head with your own life, leave me a lone. (Ebmaj7)Keep it to your self, it’s my (Bb)life. (Ebmaj7)Keep it to your self, it’s my (Bb)life. (Ebmaj7)Keep it to your self, it’s my (Bb)life. (Ebmaj7)Keep it to your self, it’s my (Bb)life.
