[D#] I don't need you to

[A#] I don't want you to tell me it's time to come
[D#] home
[D#] I don't care what you
[D#/G] say anymore, this is
[G#] my life
[A#] Go ahead with your own life, and leave me a-

[G#/A#] my
[A#] time
VERSE 2:
[D#] They will tell you you
[D#/G] can't sleep, alone in a

[A#] Then they'll tell you you can't sleep with somebody

[A#] Either way it's okay to wake up with your-
[D#]-self
