[Verse]

   Am                     Fmaj7
I sold my soul for the second time
          C            B11    E
cos the land, it don't pay me
    Am                           Fmaj7
I begged my landlord for some more time
           C             B11        E
he said "son, the bills are waiting"
     Am                              Fmaj7
my best friend called me the other night
            C         B11  E
he said "man, are you crazy?"
    Am                     Fmaj7
my girlfriend told me to get a life
            C            B11  E
she said "boy, are you lazy"

[Chorus]
Dm                   Am
      but I don't mind
    Dm                                  Am
as long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
Dm              Am
      I'll be fine
        F7
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...

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]

Dm                Am
      I don't mind
     Dm                              Am
as long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
Dm            Am
       I'll be fine
           F7
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...

[Verse]

   Am                   Fmaj7
I lost my faith in the summertime
          C       B11       E
cos it don't stop raining
      Am                  Fmaj7
the sky all day is as black as night
          C   B11   E
but I'm not complaining
    Am                     Fmaj7
I begged my doctor for one more line
           C              B11 E
he said "son... words fail me"
      Am                  Fmaj7
it ain't no place to be killing time
          C       B11 E
I guess I'm just lazy

[Chorus]

Dm              Am
      I don't mind
     Dm                               Am
as long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
Dm               Am
       I'll be fine
       F7
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...

[Ending]
