[VERSE]
D
Got a call from an old friend 
              G
We used to be real close
A7
Said he couldn't go on 
             D  Dsus
the American way
D
Closed the shop, sold a house, 
                       G
bought a ticket to the west coast
A7
Now he gives them a stand-up 
             D  Dsus
routine in L.A.

[VERSE]
D
I don't need you to worry for me
            G
 'cause I'm alright
A7
I don't want you to tell me it's 
             D  Dsus
time to come home
D
I don't care what you say anymore 
        G
this is my life
A7
Go ahead with your own life 
          Bm
leave me alone

[CHORUS]
Bm
I never said you had to offer me 
  F#7
a second chance
   F#7aug
(I never said you had to)
D
I never said I was a victim 
   E7
of circumstance
(I never said)
G       D
I still belong (still belong)
F#7          Bm7
Don't get me wrong (don't get me wrong)
E       E7
You can speak your mind 
    Asus  A7   Asus A7
but not.. on.. my.. time

[VERSE]
D
They will tell you you can't sleep 
           G
alone in a strange place
A7
Then they'll tell you you can't
                     D  Dsus
 sleep with somebody else
D
Oh, but sooner or later you sleep 
        G
in your own space
A7
Either way it's okay, 
                     [D]
you wake up with yourself
