[VERSE 1]
D                     Dadd2/F#
  Got a call from an old friend
               G            Gsus2    G
We used to be real close
A                                      D    G/D
  Said he couldn't go on the American way
D                             D/F#
  Closed the shop, sold the house
                        G
Bought a ticket to the West Coast
A                                            D
  Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.

A                                                D    G/D
  I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
D                        Dadd2/F#                   G       G  D/F#  Em7  D

A                                            Bm
  Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone

But not  on my   time

  They will tell you you can't sleep alone in a strange place
A                                                      D    G/D
  Then they'll tell you you can't sleep with somebody else
D                Dadd2/F#                    G         G  D/F#  Em  D
  But sooner or later     you sleep in your own space
A                                             D
  Either way it's okay you wake up with yourself
