Back

My Life Tab

by Billy Joel


INTRO: [  / ] repeat
VERSE 1:
                  
Got a call from an old friend
		
We used to be real close
				    
Said he couldn't go on the American way
			   
Closed the shop, sold the house
			
Bought a ticket to the West Coast

Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.

[  / ] repeat

CHORUS: (chords same as verse)
I don't need you to worry for me cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone

BRIDGE:
				    /
I never said you had to offer me a second chance
			                     
I never said I was a victim of circumstance
            	         
I still belong,     don't get me wrong

 And you can speak your mind
            
But not   on  my   time

VERSE 2:
They will tell you you can't sleep
Alone in a strange place
Then they'll tell you you can't sleep with somebody else
But sooner or later you sleep
In your own space
Either way it's okay to wake up with yourself

CHORUS
BRIDGE
PIANO SOLO:                    
I don't care what you say anymore, this is my life
Go ahead with your own life, and leave me alone
[  / ] repeat to fade
