My Life - artist Billy Joel
D G
Got a call from an old friend weʼd used to be real close
A D
Said he couldnʼt go on the American way
G
Closed the shop, sold the house, bought a ticket to the west coast
A D
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.
D
I donʼt need you to worry for me cause Iʼm [G]alright
A D
I donʼt want you to tell me itʼs time to come home
G
I donʼt care what you say anymore this is my life
A Bm
Go ahead with your own life leave me alone
F#
I never said you had to offer me a second chance
D7 E7
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
G D
I still belong
F# Bm
Donʼt get me wrong
E7
And you can speak your mind
G A G A
But not on my time
D G
They will tell you you canʼt sleep alone in a strange place
A D
Then theyʼll tell you canʼt sleep with somebody else
G
Ah but sooner or later you sleep in your own space
A D
Either way itʼs O.K. you wake up with yourself
D
I donʼt need you to worry for me cause Iʼm [G]alright
A D
I donʼt want you to tell me itʼs time to come home
G
I donʼt care what you say anymore this is my life
A Bm
Go ahead with your own life leave me alone
