  Am                    F
I sold my soul for the second time
         C             B7    E
Cause the man, 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,  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
I can't get a life if my heart's not in it...

I lost my faith in the summertime
          C         B7    E
Cause it don't stop raining

It ain't no place to be killing time

I guess i'm just lazy
