Am                           Fmaj7
I sold my soul for the second time

Cos the man, he don't pay me
Am                          Fmaj7
I begged my landlord for some more time
      C/G            Bm7  E
He said "Son, the bills waiting"
Am                           Fmaj7
My best friend called me the other night

My girlfriend told me to get a life

But I don't mind
Dm                                    Am               Dm
As long as there's a bed beneath the stars that shine
    Am
I'll be fine
Fmaj7
If you give me a minute

A mans got a limit
