If anybody wants, feel free to embellish/correct. Happy riffing. Billy Joel My Life ------------- Intro/Fill/Outro: D-Bm-Am-C9-Ebmaj7-Bb 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. 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 G I don't 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 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
