I sold my soul for the second time
Cos th[C/G]e man, he don’t pay me
I begged my landlord for some more time
He sai[C/G]d “Son, the bills waiting”
My best friend called me the other night
He s[C/G]aid “Man, are you crazy?”
My girlfriend told me to get a life
[C/G]She said “boy, you lazy”

But I don’t mind
As long as there’s a bed beneath the stars that shine
I’ll be fine
If you give me a minute

A mans got a limit
G E (Changing to E7 in this(listen to the song)
I cant get a life if your hearts’ not in it

I lost my faith in the summertime
C[C/G]os it don’t stop raining
The sky all day’s as black as night
[C/G]But I’m not complaining

I begged my doctor for one more line
[C/G]He said “Son, words fail me”
It ain’t no place to be killing time
[C/G]But I guess I’m just lazy

But I don’t mind
As long as there’s a bed beneath the stars that shine
I’ll be fine
If you give me a minute

A mans got a limit
G E (Changing to E7 in this(listen to the song)
I cant get a life if your hearts’ not in it

Outro: Am E
