VERSE 1:
[C#] Got a call from an [C#/F] old friend, we used to be [F#] real close
[G#] Said he couldn't go on the American [C#] way
Closed the shop, sold the [C#/F] house, bought a ticket to the [F#] West Coast
[G#] Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L. [C#] A.

REPEAT INTRO 2:

CHORUS:
[C#] I don't need you to [C#/F] worry for me cause I'm [F#] alright
[G#] I don't want you to tell me it's time to come [C#] home
[C#] I don't care what you [C#/F] say anymore, this is [F#] my life
[G#] Go ahead with your own life, and leave me a-[A#m]-lone

BRIDGE:
[A#m] I never said you had to offer me a [F] second chance
[C#7] I never said I was a victim of [D#7+9] circumstance
^[D#7]^[F]^[F#] I still be-[C#/F]-long, [F] don't get me [A#m] wrong
[D#7] And you can speak your mind, but [F#/G#] not [G#] on [F#/G#] my [G#] time

VERSE 2:
[C#] They will tell you you [C#/F] can't sleep, alone in a [F#] strange place
[G#] Then they'll tell you you can't sleep with somebody [C#] else
[C#] But sooner or [C#/F] later you sleep in your [F#] own space
[G#] Either way it's okay to wake up with your-[C#]-self
