Intro : G Em x2 

G                   Em 
I want a man with a life of his own 
G                            Em 
With a job that he loves and his own home 
C                         F#/D                           G      F#/D      C 
And a smile that is his and a room that he gives his own time 

G                     Em 
I need a man who can give what it takes 
G                   
And he smiles in my eyes 
Em 
And he loves when he wakes 
C                   G 
Darling be my new ride 
C                               G 
I swear I won’t take all your time 
    F#/D              A         C 
And what I do take I give to you 
  
G                   Em 
I want a man with a world of his own 
G                                   Em 
With the friends that he needs on his own he succeeds 
C                       G 
Nothing is better than him  
C                         G          F#/D           A 
Shine every light and make everyone else round me dim 
C                          G 
Nothing feel better than that 
C                            G             F#/D                           
Believe in what you got and keep what you have 
     A                       C 
It's right I will make it right 
A                      C 
     I will make it right 


      G   F#/D   A    C 
Cause I got my own life 
      G   F#/D   A    C 
Cause I got my own life 
      G   F#/D  A     C 
Cause I got my own life 
      G  F#/D   A     C           G 
Cause I got my own life
