  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 are waiting"
    Am                       F
my best friend called me the other night
          C           B7  E
he said "man, are you crazy?"
    Am                    F
my girlfriend told me to get a life
          C           B7  E
she said boy, are you lazy


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
        F
If you give me a minute, a man's got a limit
   G                       E            E7
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it
