The Importance Of Being Idle

Am

I sold my soul for the second time

Am Fmaj7

Cos the man don't pay me

I begged my landlord for some more time

Am Fmaj7

He said "Son the bills are waiting"

My best friend called me the other night

Am Fmaj7

He say "Man - you crazy"

My girlfriend told me to get a life

Am Fmaj7

She say "Boy - you lazy"

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, if you give me a minute

A man's got a limit

I can't get a life if my heart's not in it

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 man's got a limit

I can't get a life if my heart's not in it

I've lost my faith in the summer time

Cos it don't stop raining

The sky all day is as black as night

But I'm not complaining

I begged my doctor for one more line

He say "Son - words fail me

It ain't your place to be killing time"

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 man's got a limit

I can't get a life if my heart's not in it
