[Intro]
Am E (x3)
Am E Am
Am (x4 each one lasting 4 beats)    It's easy to pick up the rhythm when you listen to the song
 
 
[Verse]
Am                     F
I sold my soul for the second time
        C              B  E
Cos the man, he don't pay me
Am                       F
I begged my landlord for some more time
        C                  B  E
He said son, the bills are waiting
Am                           F
My best friend called me the other night
        C            B  E
He said man, are you crazy
Am                       F
My girlfriend told me to get a life 
         C        B E
She said boy, you lazy 
 
 
[Pre-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 
 
 
[Chorus]
       F
If you give me a minute
 
A man's got a limit
G                        E                 E E E E E7sus4
I can't get a life if my hearts not in it

[Pre-Chorus]
Dm              Am
    But I don't mind
   Dm                                Am

[Instrumental]
Am E (x3)
Am E Am
 
 
[Verse]
Am                     F
I lost my faith in the summer time
         C          B  E
Cause it don't stop raining
Am                    F
The sky all day is as black as night
        C      B   E
But I'm not complaining
Am                     F
I begged my doctor for one more line
        C          B    E
He says Son, words fail me
Am                      F
It ain't no place to be killing time
        C        B E
I guess I'm just lazy
 
 
[Pre-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
 
 
[Chorus]
       F
If you give me a minute
 
A man's got a limit
G                        E                 E E E E E7sus4
I can't get a life if my hearts not in it
 
 
[Outro] (same way as intro)
Am E (x3)
