My Life - Billy Joel

Got a call from an old friend

We used to be real close Gsus2

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.

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

They will tell you you can't sleep alone in a strange place G

Then they'll tell you you can't sleep with somebody else

But sooner or later you sleep in your own space G

Either way it's okay you wake up with yourself

Bm/D

Keep it to yourself, it's my life

Bm/D

Keep it to yourself, it's my life
