D Bm Am C9 Ebmaj7 Bb
[Intro]
D G
Got a call from an old friend we'd used to be real close
A D
Said he couldn't go on the American way
G
Closed the shop, sold the house, bought a ticket to the west coast
A D [Fill]
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.
[Chorus 1]
D G
I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm allright
A D
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
[Chorus 2]
G
I don't care what you say anymore this is my life
A Bm
Go ahead with your own life leave me alone
[Bridge]
F#
I never said you had to offer me a second chance
D7 E9
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
G D
I still belong
F# Bm
Don't get me wrong
E9
And you can speak your mind
G A G A
But not on my time
D G
They will tell you you can't sleep alone in a strange place
A D
Then they'll tell you can't sleep with somebody else
G
Ah but sooner or later you sleep in your own space
A D
Either way it's O.K. you wake up with yourself

Awesome tab

Great tab! I have the actual sheet music and this is a great simplified way to play it! One tiny suggestion… On the second D chord in the verse (on “OLD friend”…) play an F# key with the left hand while the right hand plays the D chord. Adds a little twang 😎 (Guess it would look like D/F# over OLD?)
