[D] [Bm] [Am] [C9] [Ebmaj7] [Bb]

Intro

[D]Got a call from an old friend we'd used to be [G]real close

Bridge

I never said you had to offer me a [F#]second chance
[D7]I never said I was a victim of [E9]circumstance
[G]I still [D]belong
[F#]Don't get me [Bm]wrong
[E9]And you can speak your mind
But [G]not [A]on [G]my [A]time
[D]They will tell you you can't sleep alone in a [G]strange place
[A]Then they'll tell you can't sleep with somebody [D]else
Ah but sooner or later you sleep in your [G]own space
[A]Either way it's O.K. you wake up with [D]yourself
