Verse:
  Am                   F
I sold my soul for the second time
         C              B7  E
Cos' the land, it don't pay me
  Am                     F
I begged my landlord for some more time
         C               B7  E
He said "Son, the bills' waiting"
   Am                        F
My best friend called me the other night
         C        B7  E
He said "Man, you crazy"
   Am                    F
My girlfriend told me to get a life
          C        B7 E
She said "Boy, you lazy"


Chorus:
Dm7         Am
But I don't mind
   Dm7                               Am
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
Dm7     Am
I'll be fine
       F                
If you give me a minute, a man's got a limit
  G                      E
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it

                  hey-hey

Verse:
  Am                   F
I lost my faith in the summertime
        C          B7 E
Cos' it don't stop raining
    Am                F
The sky all day is as black as night
        C      B7  E
But I'm not complaining
  Am                   F
I begged my doctor for one more line
         C          B7   E
He said "Son, words fail me"
   Am                   F
It ain't no place to be killing time
        C        B E
I guess I'm just lazy

If you give me a minute, a man's got a limit
  G                      E
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it
